Chinese New Year

This was our second Chinese New Year since moving here and it was just as loud and just as fun as previous years! Of course, after two weeks of nightly fireworks, it started to get old. :)

I think this is supposed to be Confucious? He gave my kids chocolate "gold" coins at the mall.

This was fun to watch. These guys were doing this act where they balance this huge flag on their forehead and then toss it back to the next guy who catches it on his forehead. Why? Who knows. But it was cool.

The yearly Lion Dance

This is called the Luminous Dragon Dance. This picture definitely does not do it justice.
