Happy New Year!

February 7th was Chinese New Year, the year of the rat. To celebrate, we went to the annual Chinese New Year Parade in Fairhope that our agency sponsors. It was so much fun to see all of the Chinese children from the area. The weather was beautiful, so many people participated in and enjoyed the parade.
