It's the Year of the Tiger!

On Saturday, we attended the Ohio Chinese New Year. Mia performed with her class at the event. Apparently it is the biggest Chinese New Year event in the state. There were thousands of people there. Mia and I went and left the rest of the family at home. Her first idea was to get this big plate of food ---- and yes, she ate most of it. Then we watched a few of the performances until it was her turn. Below is her class getting ready back stage.

On Sunday afternoon, our COFCC group held their annual event. This dress we purchased for Mia in her hometown of Nanchang. 3 years ago Megan wore it, now Mia fits perfectly in it! (And if you are noticing, yes Mia fell and hit her head on a chair in her room, which got her in the face/chin...but one of those natural consequences from a temper tantrum!)
After some crafts, group photos for the dance, and playgroup fun, we headed upstairs to watch Mia perform with her class. These girls are too darn cute. They all did such a wonderful job, and we're so proud of Mia getting on stage not once...but twice to celebrate her heritage!

And ended up on the right - front.
It was a great time! Happy Year of the Tiger!
