Happy Chinese New Year!

Well, in keeping with our daughter Mya's heritage, we celebrated Chinese New Year over the weekend. It was also my birthday, so we just had a blast! We met some of my friends in China Town in Downtown Cleveland for a huge dinner and party! It was so much fun! I do have to say that although my husband despises Chinese Food, he tried quite a bit of Chinese Cuisine. So did Ryan and Marissa who were not shy in trying anything, Ryan ate squid! Chad sat next to a lady who was from China and the "event" of the night would have to be when she at the "fish head" from the fish platter! I hope Chad survives our week in Taiwan! It is so funny because all though we got Mya when she was only 8 months old, that girl LOVES Chinese food. She at so much noodles and rice, we couldn't get her to stop!!!! The kid's loved the dragon and putting the "lucky red envelope" in it's mouth! It was really a special night, because even though Mya and Delanie will grow up Americans, we want so much for them to remember where they came from, and their culture they left behind! We will be making this an annual event for our whole family!
It is the "Year of the Rat" and Ryan is a Rat, so this is his year!!!!!!!!!! I know it will be a good one!
