Hannah is 6! Happy Chinese New Years!

We had a Chinese New Year's pageant at H's Mandarin school, then rushed home for H's Birthday Party! Hannah's class did 2 songs, and they were great! We also had visit from a TIGER and some Kung Fu fighters, traditional dancers too.  We asked H if she wanted to do the dancing and she said NO, she wants to do the Kung Fu! 

Birthday Party Fun!

We decorated our loot bags, made candy necklaces, decorated and ate cup cakes, made a crazy alien, opened gifts, ate cake and PLAYED! phew!
