DSC_0360  I made  the mistake of waiting until the end for the family photo, not everyone in the mood to be photographed, so here it is (no time to photoshop).

It’s always a great evening, catching up with others and getting the kids together, enjoying a yummy Chinese Potluck with authentic activities and festive decorations.  So nice seeing Stefanie this year, director of our adoption agency- CHI, the inspired lady who called us 4 1/2 years ago to tell us Sophie and Sage are ours!

Happy Chinese New Year!
