This year was extra special because the girls were invited to learn a ribbon dance. Sarah was a little shy at first, but in "true Sarah fashion", once she saw the ribbons and all the other girls, she was ready to go!
The ribbon dancers! I could hardly hold back the tears when I saw all of these sweet girls together for the first time!
We also learned more about Chinese New Year, how to say "Happy New Year" and how children ask for red envelopes.

The gang's almost all here (Justin had an indoor track meet).
Jason and Sarah love the lion masks and the lion dance, too!

Very fun!!
I'm guessing that Justin was at the Oval? My girls decided to come to CNY instead, and I think that the dancing helped make up their minds. Hillary chose to run last year and was missing from our family pic, too.

What a wonderful celebration! Ribbon dances and lion heads for the kids to wear? Much more "hands on" than ours!
And I love Sarah's little shoes. I'm so going to try to find some for my girls while we are in China on this next trip.
That is a great celebration. I love the dancing lions! Hudson went to a celebration here and then came home distraught that I didn't have any Chinese New Year decorations or Ground Hog decorations.
What an awesome celebration!! I love Sarah's red shoes! Your blog makeover looks brilliant as well! Perfect for the New Year all the way around!
This looks like so much fun for everyone! I love the idea of dancing with the ribbons and the lions costume. I bet the kids were thrilled! Our CNY celebration isn't until next weekend. We are combining it with Lantern Festival and plan to set off lanterns, but next year I might find some ribbons for dancing. I bet Allie would love that as well!
Sarah truly is darling Gwen!
Looks loke fun!!
Beautiful, I would have teared up too- such gorgeous girls!
