Friday evening, we had four families over to celebrate Chinese New Year. Great time! Everyone brought their favorite Chinese food, homemade or bought :) Mason-Kate was in heaven as she ate fried rice, lo mein, sesame chicken and topped it all off with chocolate cake - not sure that the Chinese eat chocolate cake but they would if they tasted the one we had! One reminder of how much Mason-Kate has grown came when I tried to put her in her traditional Chinese outfit for the party. It was way short and snug around the waist - we ended up in a red dress. The excitement is growing around town. One of the families celebrating with us is going to travel in a few months to be united with their baby boy. This is their first adoption and we all had advice for them on what to pack, meds to take, what to eat, what to buy, where to stay, what to see, etc., etc., etc....I am sure they are in recovery now!
For Christmas, I gave the boys of the house tickets to see a Monster Truck show in January. The big day came on Saturday for them to attend the show and they had a blast. They spent a few hours in the "pits" getting autographs, meeting the drivers and seeing the trucks up close. Needless to say, their latest game together is Monster Truck show....they have created their own course in the gameroom complete with ramps and cars to crush!

Happy Chinese New Year! I loved the pictures of all the kids on the sofa, much like the "Red Couch" photo. It makes me want to go back again for another, but my husband is NOT convinced! Take care.
