YEAR OF THE HORSE

Last week was Chinese New Year and we celebrated the only way the Day Clan knows how...
over the top.


This is a long standing tradition that Kday and I cherish for numerous reasons, all of which have to do with Layla's adoption story and heritage. I hope to always instill a love and respect for her Chinese lineage. And let's be honest, who doesn't love an extra holiday to celebrate every year!?




Kday's mom always out does herself with the table decorations and prizes for the games. Chinese Bingo is a must.

With awesome prizes like these sweet shades Uncle Clay won.



The boys ate their weight in M&M's (or Rider calls them M-O nem nems), we ate our weight in chinese food and we celebrated through the night. Fortune sticks were drawn and I think I sealed my fate. We'll see, I may have made an illegal wish because I wished for something to happen next year... and my fortune said my wish wouldn't come true. It did however say a business wish would come true... do I dare predict again? Especially since I've sworn off more adoptions? Meh, who believes in that kinda stuff anyway. OH WAIT. I do! Like 100% believe in it because it predicted Layla 5 years ago and then again with the boys 2 years later! Eh, whatever. It also mentioned that someone seeks revenge against me for an imaginary wrong... yikes.

CHEERS TO THE YEAR OF THE HORSE!

Once again, Margo has completely outdone herself! All the planning and prep work is enough to send me raving to the State Mental Hospital. Looks like fun- be careful what you wish for- ha!
