1st Annual Chinese New Year Celebration



This year we decided to begin a new tradition in celebration of our sweet baby girl and embracing our soon to be multicultural family.  We planned a Chinese New Year celebration at a local restaurant called Ming's Cafe, located close to UT's campus. It was the perfect place to celebrate. 

Twenty-five of our closest friends whom have quickly become our Austin family joined us in the celebration.  These friends have been with us every step if the way, announcing our adoption, and following our journey over the past year. They have helped in our CoupAide fundraising project and are always there to lend an ear and share hugs when times were challenging. We don't know where we would be without their love and support.  Lottie Lee is one lucky little baby, and she already has so many people who love her and cannot wait to meet her.  

There was amazing cuisine, lots of laughter, dragons, balloons, love, and heartfelt wishes for Lottie Lee.  We ate, drank and we were merry.  To top it off, we lit sparklers and all sent our prayers to Lottie Lee that she is loved and for her safe arrival into our family.  Overall the evening was magical, we couldn't have planned it any better.  We look forward to the New Year celebrations to come.
