Xin nian kuai le! That means "Happy New Year" in Mandarin. It's time for the Lunar New Year as we welcome the Year of the Rabbit. As always, we attended a nice celebration that the Asian Children's Mentor Program at the University of Georgia held. Here's a picture of me with my Mommy outside the venue. See that Bulldog next to me? Woof, woof, woof!
This gentleman played some beautiful music on this ancient Chinese "violin" type instrument. It had a very unique sound.
And here are all the kids in their cheongsams and silk pantsuits.
My mentor, Ji In, helped me to make a rabbit by folding paper.
Here they are again.
And a close-up.
A nice close-up of me and Ji In. Mama curled my hair again. Can you tell?
And then it was time for the lion dance!
It moved quickly through the crowd.
Posing in front of the giant fan.
Happy Lunar New Year! I hope all the Rabbits out there enjoy it!
