Happy Washington's Birthday!

That's what Daddy has today so we're off from school! That means we have time to catch you up on the last two months. Actually we haven't done too much blogging because daddy broke a couple of fingers playing "ultimate" but he's doing a lot better now...

First, Chinese New Year's!

We also celebrated at the Children's Discovery Museum.

Of course at the museum you also have to play dress-up

Finally, this weekend we also went to the free Family Sunday at the Academy of Arts for their Chinese New Year's celebration. We saw Ni Hao Kai Lan, drew on canvases that made drum sounds, and tied some fancy knots. Then we sat on the lawn and watched the lion and dragon dance shows...
