Happy Chinese New Year

I don't know if we would remember to celebrate the Chinese new year except that it falls so close to Graci's Gotcha Day. So our house is decked out with dragons, pavilions, fans, rabbits, and many other Chinese symbols and characters. Graci asked today if she has to go to school since it is Chinese new year. I told her she did have to go and she said, " but I am Chinese."
"I know", I answered, "but you don't live in China".
"Oh good! but can I stay home from school?"

We will celebrate Gotcha Day on Saturday and remember that beautiful day four years ago when we first held Graci Jia!
