Wow! The Olympics are ON!
So, we stayed up for the opening ceremonies on Friday...well, Bryanna called it a night at 10:15 but Cassidy was determined to see the lighting of the cauldron and made right through till the end! Well, other than shutting her eyes every now and then (okay, during the speeches)...
We loved the technical pieces with light and images and flying the best!
...Bryanna can still wear the silk outfit purchased on our last trip to China...
Cassidy pulled out the chopsticks and dug right in to rice and crab salad...
It was just a wonderful celebration...
...with those we love.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Happy Chinese New Year! Wish we could have joined you. Hey, I have an idea... why don't we celebrate again in oh... three weeks or so??
(Mom looks pretty fantastic given her adventurous lifestyle this past week...)
It's a date - see you on March 7th!
And yes, doesn't she look fabulous? Nose is just a little swollen still and she has lots of aches and pains (as she says, "don't make me laugh!") but looking super.
Love seeing you all together safe and sound -- and love seeing all the Chinese finery - I was thinking about my order for the tailor yesterday.
You didn't mention that this is YOUR year -- the year of the tiger....need to find out your fortune...
I'm right into the Olympics this year too!! In fact, the lack of sleep is killin' me! (I can't seem to shut the TV off at night!). We also watched the opening ceremonies ... Nick made it until about 9:30, then Sophia was crashed at about 11 ... just Nicole and I made it all the way to the end. *grin*
You didn't mention Family Day ... what did you do for that? It was a FULL weekend with Valentine's Day too! (not that we really celebrate it, but the kids love it).
