Happy Chinese New Year!







Today there was a pleasant surprise waiting for us on our front door step...a package from Nanny! The kids opened it immediately (after asking multiple times "Why did Nanny have to use so much tape?"). They proudly pulled out two matching "sock monkey" bathrobes, which were immediately donned over existing clothing.

Now I know what you're thinking...what do sock monkeys have to do with Chinese New Year? The answer is probably not much. Although it is customary to bring in the new year with new clothes, a hair cut, and a clean, organized house. At least we are two for three (Nanny hasn't hired a maid for us yet).

What I love about these pictures is the sheer joy on the kids faces and the amazing bond that has formed between them. Now that's something to celebrate! Thank you Nanny for the great package!

Happy New Year...the year of the Ox!
