Gung Hay Fat Choy 2014 Year of the Horse

Sweet Girl

We had a fabulous weekend celebrating Chinese New Year, the Year of the Horse, with some of our dear friends. Michele and her husband Tom, have two daughters from China, Kayla and Kira, and we love spending time with them, but especially on CNY.

We met them downtown Portland to attend the Chinese New Year Cultural Fair at the Convention Center, and after that we headed to Chinatown to do some shopping and then out to a very tasty Chinese dinner. The restaurant reminded us all of being in Guangzhou. It was great...the girls all so beautiful in their darling dresses, all of us laughing, visiting, eating, and just celebrating being together and our daughters' heritage!

Emily helped decorate our house in the afternoon before we headed to meet our friends. She did very well, and had an opinion about where everything should go. 

She wore her purple dress from last year, that still fit, but we did buy her a new blue dress...as many of you all know her FAVORITE color!! It is gorgeous, and she wore it to church today!

Thank you Michele and girls for spending Chinese New Year with us. We love you all!!!
Love,
Kathy 

P.S.  Way to go Seahawks!
