We celebrated Chinese New Year on February 18, 2007 by going to Chinatown in Washington, D.C.
with our friends. Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday celebrated among Chinese people. Often referred to as the spring festival. Chinese years are grouped in sets of 12 with each year being represented by an animal. It is said that a person displays the characteristics of the animal of the year in which they were born. This is the year of the pig! Our daughter is likely born in the year of the dog, which was last year. I too was born in the year of the dog. Our attributes are that we are responsible, gracious and loyal. It is appropriate that she will be born in the year of the dog since she will join a house with Caleb ("Calabby") our lab and Egan, our Irish Setter. She will also have a cat named Sparkle and a horse called Dan.
