Year of the Dragon
This year we stayed home and had a little celebration with just the four of us. It was a lot of fun!
We had our decorations out, Chinese food, and Chinese music playing.... which reminded me of the music (I miss that music) that we heard every night outside of the White Swan Hotel.
It brought back memories of a baby Lily sleeping in the crib and Jeff and I watching (from our big window) the light and music show every night.
With our 50 degree temps this January we were able to get some outdoor photos of the littles in their Chinese outfits.......
Lily LOVES a photo shoot and was super excited to wear this cute little winter suit.
She also loved that we tied her long hair in these cute knots.
The sun was just starting to set.....
Beautiful Lilybug....
Ty was also happy to take some photos (in exchange for some Ipad time) and pulled out all of his poses....
This is his favorite pose.....
He insisted on wearing this hat for his photos...
I love this picture.... he is growing up so fast but this picture reminds me that he is still our
Ty baby.
He thinks this face is so funny...
We made paper dragons.....
Our giant lantern..... Lily and Ty love this lantern because they think it looks like them.
We've been putting this book out for years now and they still really enjoy it.
