Chinese New Year

We spent the weekend in southern California visiting family and friends. Saturday we went to the Chinese New Year parade in Los Angeles. Alex thought all the firecrackers were people clapping and joined right in, applauding each time he heard firecrackers. We went from the parade to a dumpling restaurant - the perfect way to celebrate Chinese New Year! Sunday found us south of Los Angeles, visiting with Alex's best friend from Taiwan. It was great to see David and his family again.
