Chinese New Year





This year Chinese New Year seemed to last forever. We had so many wonderful events and Aminah was definately exposed to the Chinese Culture. We went to Los Angeles for the Chinese New Year Parade with the Gividens and the Jamesons. It was nice to see so many families with Chinese children. Uncle Sing and Auntie Nette invited us to a Chinese dinner hosted by the Chinese Woman's Club. The following week we were invited to another dinner and dance with the Gividens. It was so much fun to see Aminah playing with all of the Chinese kids. The local Chinese Woman's club said that I could join as an honorary Chinese woman. I might just have to take them up on that offer. Auntie Nette thought that she was teaching Aminah how to use chopsticks but little did she know Aminah is already able to manipulate them enough to get a few bites in her mouth. As you can see she is quite the ham . . . after all it was the year of the pig. Of course Aminah was born in the year of the monkey and she will always be my little monkey.
