Celebrating the Autumn Moon













On Friday the Chinese Scholar Gardens held an Autumn Moon Festival. It was a wonderful night filled with Chinese Culture Demonstrations, Food and Lanterns. Emilees favorite part of the night was when the young Chinese Dancers performed the traditional Lantern Dance.( There are two Chinese Cultural Centers near my house and they teach Dancing, Language, Chinese crafts and Calligraphy. They begin admitting students at age 4. I already have Emilees name on the list.) The highlight of Emilees night was when she was presented her own paper lantern. She was so proud of it and she walked around the grounds swinging it back and forth.

I finally finished painting the hutch for Emilees room and a friend of mine helped me bring it up to her room. I think it turned out great. It is really what her room needed.
