Chinese New Year

The same night as Hannah's valentine's party, we went to the Chinese New Year celebration.  The main event was a Chinese acrobat show.

That woman taking pictures in the green shirt is from KC Star.  Here are her (much better) pictures.


Brave Hannah volunteered to go on stage to learn how to catch a hat on her head.

 Hannah loved seeing all the acrobat tricks.  Olive said they were "beautiful ballerinas."  They tried out some moves after the show.

And we couldn't leave without making some art.  The Chinese dragon is supposed to have the head of a camel, neck of a snake, belly of a frog, etc.  They had paper animals to cut apart and make into a dragon.


Olive made her own animals.  All of them had frog feet.
