Chinese New Year's Celebration

Today I met Gemma at Mandarin class and then went on to the New Year's celebration! I was so excited to watch the lion dance. Some of the other big kids did the lion dance by themselves, but I'm still a little one so I watched.

Here is my teacher doing the lion dance while we all play our drums. I was a little nervous when the lion got close, but then Mommy reminded me that Lao Shi was underneath and then everything was okay.

After the lion dance I went to make dumplings with Mommy. Here I am with my new friends listening to Lao Shi explain how to make them. I was very focused because I wanted to remember all the instructions for Sassy.

I ended up making three with diced celery and carrots. My favorite part was dipping my finger in the water to seal the dumplings. I thought it was pretty easy to make, so I'm thinking of making them for my friends soon. I just have to make sure Mommy helps me get the ingredients!
