More New Year Fun

Jia and I attended the New Year celebration put on by our local Families with Children from Asia group. Here she is excited and ready to go. When we bought her this outfit in China, I could not imagine her ever being big enough to wear it! That day has arrived.

Here she is making a sock bunny for the Year of the Rabbit.

Freshly face-painted and sporting a new necklace she crafted, along with a beautiful smile.

Working on her balancing skills.

Doing a little ribbon dancing!

And getting a formal lesson.


Attending a show with her friend, "The Other Jia," who was adopted at the same time and place as our Jia.


An exuberant lion.

I found this in my inbox later that evening from my friend Tracy - what a nice surprise!
