Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year in the International District

This year we went to the Chinese New Year celebrations in the International District. 

We ran into several dragons.

And they danced! 

She couldn't believe her eyes.

A real, live dragon.

"There is a girl inside the Dragon!" (Actual quote.  How is my baby old enough?)
Ava was not so sure about the fireworks.  "They are a little scary."  (Yep, she said that one, too. Makes me sad to have my baby say such grown-up things.  It is all happening too fast). 


We had a good time making a lantern in the pavilion. 


Ela didn't react too much to the fireworks or the dragons.  But she was very into the cuddles.  

Not exactly traditional, but a pink cake-pop is a fine ending to any dance party.
