Chinese New Year Celebration

It has been an awesome weekend! If you haven't yet, make sure and check out yesterdays post as well. Tonight we got together with several local families to celebrate Chinese New Year. We ate at a Chinese restaurant in Hoover and all the girls and 1 boy dressed up in their Chinese silks. We had lots of fun getting to meet some new friends and spending time with old ones. We also got to meet Hannah Grace, who just returned home from China a little over a week ago.
Enjoy the photos. The first three are of Leanna, Amy, Hannah, Katherine, and Ana Claire. I never could get them all to look at once! And in case you're wondering why Hannah looks blurry in these first three, well..she never (NEVER) stopped moving and yelling "CHEESE"!

We tried to get Katherine and Hannah to pose for a picture (with Katherine's sister). But, they were not too interested. Hannah was more interested in playing with Katherine's hair!!
