Happy "Year of the Rat!"

One of the neat things about living in our neighborhood is that we are in a more culturally diverse area of the city. We are just a few miles away from the area of OKC known as the "Asian District." Many Asian families live and work in this area. There is an amazing Asian supermarket called Super Cao Nguyen (http://www.caonguyen.com/index.php) that you MUST check out if you live in Oklahoma City--it is unreal!
Last weekend, we were hankering for some free entertainment so we decided to attend their Chinese New Year Celebration, complete with a traditional Lion Dance and lots of loud fireworks. I was worried that it might be too loud for Addie, but she absolutely loved it. We like exposing her to fun and new things and we learn in the process as well.

The Chinese Lion...

The parking lot full of Black Cat shells. It was SO loud but Addie didn't even flinch!
