It is our 1st Chinese New Year with the little bug in the house. I ordered some red lanterns like ones we saw all over in China. I will put up a few more decorations today.
Doesn't she look cute in her red outfit!!
It is the Year of the Rabbit:
1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999
People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.
According to Chinese tradition, the Rabbit brings a year in which you can catch your breath and calm your nerves. It is a time for negotiation. Don't try to force issues, because if you do you will ultimately fail. To gain the greatest benefits from this time, focus on home, family, security, diplomacy, and your relationships with women and children. Make it a goal to create a safe, peaceful lifestyle, so you will be able to calmly deal with any problem that may arise.
Avery and I are Year of the Ox, and Gary is Year of the Dog.
Our adoption agency used to have a Chinese New Year party, but in the last 2 years they have not. Budget cuts, and staff cuts etc. We went one year and I was so depressed while I was there. I loved meeting the people, and seeing all the children but we were seated at the "waiting table". Us and 4 other couples...it was hard.
I wish they would have it again. Just to meet the other parents and children, it would be great!! Must talk to them about this and see what can be done.
Xin Nian Kuai Le!!
