HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

Yesterday, the Taubman Museum hosted a Chinese New Year Celebration.  We went to check it out from 2-5 and had a great time!  There were crafts for the kids, Chinese caligraphy - had both the girls names done, the traditional Dragon Dance, music, martial arts demonstrations, and information on how different regions in China celebrate the holiday, including decorating their homes, foods typically eaten, and gifts exchanged, including the "red envelopes" given to the children with Chinese money in them for the ocassion.  At the end, all the children in attendance also received a red envelope.  The girls enjoyed it.  Here are a few pictures from the afternoon...
