Week 3 - Lantern Night


These fireworks were right outside our window, on Lantern Night, the last night of the Chinese New Year celebrations in this Year of the Snake and even hit the glass!!  It doesn't get closer than that.

In our first year in China, I was pregnant with Didi, and after enjoying the celebrations for the Chinese New Year of the Ox, he was finally born to the constant bang and explosions of fireworks celebrating Lantern Night.

As a result, I always celebrate his 'Chinese Birthday' on the fifteenth day of the new year.

Zhu ni shengri kuaile, Didi!!
