Chinese New Year was February 16th this year and it became the year of the rat. We celebrated at Uncle Hay’s and Auntie Cathy’s. Auntie Janet kept trying to take her picture with you but you were too shy to do it so she finally snuck up behind you and we got a picture of both of you. You had this adorable Chinese outfit on. You are very lucky to have such a beautiful family that loves you very much!<\/p>\n
