Kicking Off CNY 2008


Our FCC has two banquets because we have such a big group, 800 people each night. The event takes place in the heart of China Town and is definitely an evening to remember. We only stayed for 1/2 the night and left before the magician and firecracker stomp. Abbey doesn't "get" princesses yet but the bigger girls loved seeing Miss China Town and her court.
This is ZsaZsa the acrobat entertaining the awestruck girls. This gal was doing things like spinning three raw eggs on stick on her nose.




Abbey had some very funny dance moves and I have no idea where they've come from. They involve squatting, which she seems to be a master at. She was dancing full throttle until she had a head on collision with a couple of other wild girls. They all popped right back up and started dancing again. She is truly a party girl.




I thought the lion dancers might be a little too loud but Abbey was mesmerized and LOVED it. She loves drums and was thrilled when the two lions started throwing oranges back and forth between their mouths.

    Go Abbey! She's a dancing machine!

    Emma is always afraid of the Lion Dance and we have to leave before they do it every year. Maybe this year she'll be braver!

    I love the dance--she almost looks like she is swimming! I am glad that you all had such a great time. It is a great experience for her. Children can be so resilient!
    Lots of Love and Prayers!
