Our annual Chinese New Year Party.
The Chinese Connection!
Each year, four families who traveled to China together, each with 2 children from China get together to celebrate. (We actually find all sorts of other occasions to get together too.)
There's never a shortage. Of food nor fun!
The Dad of the house loves to whip up all sorts of goodies. The Mom makes killer lychee martinis.
The only boy amongst 7 girls. He has no chance....but he's awfully cute.
And every year - this Dad runs around in the snow outside, lighting fireworks as we all take front seats in front of the large window.
We just love our little traditions and this great group of friends!!
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
