Chinese New Year - Year of the Ox

Well, it's been a mostly chilly Jan/Feb 09 in Atlanta, but that hasn't stopped Ella from enjoying her usual full compliment of activities, mostly centered around Chinese New Year where she enjoyed 2 celebrations - one the FCCA celebration where she is pictured with Mom enjoying the Lion Dance (well OK enjoying it may be a stretch!). Also, we made it to the Chinese New Year celebration in Chinatown (Atlanta) the following weekend and met my friend Judy and her family. Other activities included seeing Miss Dawn (pictured with Mom) for her 40th birthday and taking in her first live sporting event - a thrilling UGA upset win over Florida, where Ella is pictured in the crowd with family. By the way, she behaved perfectly - enjoying the game and cheering along.
