Year of the Tiger

Happy New Year! We celebrated in style with our Families of the China Moon group. We shared a meal, we made red lanterns, we ran, we flirted, we posed for photos and we had our own Lion Parade complete with one happy Lion head!
I had a mini culture clash today when I went to the Chinese restaurant to pick up our dinner. I was thrilled to see all the American couples enjoying the Chinese New Year all dressed in the lucky color red. It wasn't until the restaurant owner wished me a "Happy Valentines" and I wished her a "Happy New Year" that I realized the red was dual purpose today...what a great double celebration day.
