Xin Nian Kuaile!!! (Sheen knee-en Kwai lah) Happy New Year!

Today is Chinese New Year! As we celebrate New Years for the third time, it will be our last celebration as a family of four! A month from today we'll be in Beijing and only days from meeting Eliana, how exciting! So, this year we're doing a very quiet Chinese New Year celebration with just the four of us. Beth is planning on cooking up some yummy Chinese food tomorrow night and we're just going spend some time together as a family. Next year however , we're thinking of a much larger celebration with friends and family but that's for next year. Here are some interesting facts (based on various internet sources) concerning us and Chinese New Year:
  • 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit which is also Beth's year and who's motto is "Let there be peace"
  • Howard is the Year of the Dragon whose motto is "I reign".
  • Benjamin is the Year of the Rooster whose motto is "I know".
  • Eli & Eliana are the Year of the Rat whose motto is "I rule".
All very appropriate mottos don't you think?
