~Chinese New Year~
A year ago Erich and I celebrated the Chinese New Year (year of the Tiger) with Tom and Wendy in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario who were hosting a Chinese exchange student. Dan Dan (the student) made traditional dumplings for the celebration.

Wendy and Tom's house was decorated appropriately in the golds, reds, lanterns and such for the occasion. I wasn't quite sure what one wears to celebrate this day so I just got a pendant with the symbol for the year I was born, Year of the Horse.

My brother Brian just returned from a business trip to China in the Szechuan province and judging from some of his photos I'm glad I was dining from our menu and not his!
