Saturday afternoon we took the kids to Chinatown. We took the subway, which the kids loved. Last year we made the mistake of going to Chinatown on the actual CNY day and it was dead -- everything was closed. So this year we went on the eve of CNY and there was lots going on! We enjoyed dinner at a hawker stand and then walked around looking at all the decorations. We tried to hang out long enough to see the CNY parade but there was a delay and it wasn't going to start until too late so we didn't get to see it.
Lined up waiting for the parade that we never got to see...
Kara was being cute so I got a lot of shots of her. Below she is standing in front of a vendor selling Chinese New Year decorations. Matt went over to buy something for our front door. As you can see there is a big sign that says "$1" and that is how much he was supposed to spend. However, Clark Griswald Diamond made the purchase ($12, not $1) which you will see below.

Jack doing the kind of stuff he likes to do...
And, Matt's decoration...
Yep, it even lights up!
Check it out below, Jack can reach the door handles now. He can't quite push them open, but I am afraid it won't be long!!!!
Tonight we enjoyed a bbq with some friends of ours and the kids had a blast running around the grounds. Tomorrow we will continue to enjoy the holiday!
