Happy New Year!!!


Chinese New Year. On Monday Ava's school celebrated International Day which coincides with Chinese New Year (February 14). They have a big celebration with a parade and every student dresses in a costume representing their ancestral heritage. The parade is a Chinese dragon and a teacher (Miss Cathy) is the head and the preschool children are the body. The older students line the parade route and shout. Ava dressed in a Ukrainian skirt and blouse. Following the parade the preschool children perform a collection of international themed dances. Ava loved it and did every dance. Afterward there was a potluck of food from all over the world. Ava liked most of the "sweets" and not much else. Dad on the other hand like pretty much everything!
