On Saturday, we bundled up to visit the American Art Museum in DC for the Chinese New Year celebration, where we saw puppeteers, dragons, and even watched video of the new baby panda at the National Zoo, Bao Bao. Evie and Ellie made some fantastic paper lanterns.
Ellie proudly holds up her lantern.
Later she took a break and watched the dragon dances and puppeteers while eating her sandwich.
Ellie thought the drums during the dragon dance were a little too loud.
We made pictures and signed the greeting cards for Bao Bao, the new panda cub at the National Zoo.
Evie also got into the craft-making, and then took over as official photographer while listening to the Chinese musicians play on the guzhengs.
Then on Sunday we visited Auntie Mailan and Uncle Tung to celebrate the new year and Kevin's birthday. Evie and Ellie dressed in their Vietnamese ao dai and were very excited to open up their red envelopes.
Ellie is thrilled!
We all gather around and sing Kevin Happy Birthday!
Ellie digs into the birthday cake!
