Happy Chinese New Year 2008!






2008 is the the year of the rat! We celebrated Chinese New Year by heading to downtown Portsmouth to the Children's Museum. The Museum had a few local Chinese artisans that wrote the children's names in Chinese symbols. They also had several other areas set up so the children could make simple crafts such as a Chinese lanterns. Kaiden had a great time running around to all the exhibits and being able to touch and play with everything! Right before we left we watched the traditional Chinese Dragon Dance which frightened Kaiden at first with the loud sound of the drum but he enjoyed seeing the Dragon move throughout the museum. It's hard to believe that Kaiden has been with us for almost 9 months and it certainly feels like he has always been part of our family! We look forward to spending many years with Kaiden celebrating Chinese New Year!
