HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!!!! We were able to welcome in and celebrate the New Year "the year of the Ox" today. Before going to have dinner, we stopped by Wal-Mart for a few items and SO many people stopped us to say to Eden, "Oh, what a pretty outfit you have on." She would say, "This is my Happy Chinese New Year outfit that Mommy and Daddy got in China." She was cracking me up!! I had told her (probably three weeks ago) that we had this outfit made "just" for her when we were in China. We bought several outfits, all different sizes for Eden while there for her to have as she grew but, as of today this is the first one she is able to wear. One of the dresses also fits her now, so maybe she can wear it soon.
Once at the restaurant, the waitresses, like always, were so friendly and when one of them over heard me asking Eden if she could say Happy New Year in Chinese and Eden did very softly, she came running over, hugging Eden and saying "Xin Nian Kuai Le", "Right!, Right!" "Good, Good!". I did get a video of Eden saying it, but I'm having trouble getting in uploaded, so I'll keep trying. This first picture is actually after our meal when we were getting ready to leave the restaurant.
Also, I thought this was cute when we arrived at the restaurant Eden said to us, "We have been here before, we've been to this Happy Chinese New Year restaurant before. "
