Xin nian kuai le!

Happy New Year! I am a little late in posting, but I figure that since CNY technically lasts 15 days, I am still posting during the holiday. :)

This year, Maelyn was excited to help prepare the hongbao for her classmates. She couldn't wait to share this special holiday with her friends. Maelyn brought a few read alouds about Chinese New Year to share with the class and her teacher read them throughout the week.

On the big day, Maelyn wore her traditional dress and had her hongboa and CNY colouring pages ready to go in her backpack. To top it all off, it was crazy hair day at school!

Unfortunately, our CNY celebration with our friends had to be delayed because of the weather. This winter has been a long and tough one -- so many get togethers have been cancelled or delayed. Hopefully, we will be able to celebrate together soon!

Welcome!

What better way to procrastinate the completion of my report cards than to create a new look for the blog?! We are finally adjusting to our new normal around here -- the both of us being at work has been interesting. :)

I am really looking forward to slowly getting back to doing a few activities that I enjoy and find relaxing-- such as blogging. So stay tuned for some way past due updates and of course, tons of picture of our two little monkeys. :)
