Happy New Year

A weekend full of holidays, I tell ya. Yesterday we went to see the lion dance, firecrakers pop by the thousands and wander around Chinatown with oodles of other adopted children. There were lots of white couples with baby Chinese girls. Ellie wore her indigo Chinese silk outfit, just like the other girls. Her red hair stuck out, as did the fact she was wearing her nightgown over the pants.

Ellie got a fortune cookie that read: There is a Surpise in store for you.
Ellie was excited about that. She wanted to know which store.
