This week, as Chinese New Years approaches, we say goodbye to the "Year of the Sheep" and hello to the "Year of the Monkey." We celebrated by gathering
together for a time of thanking and honoring our nannies for all of their hard
work this past year. Our nannies invest a huge amount of love, time, and energy into caring
for our little ones. They do not have an easy job! But as we think back on the past year, it is easy to see how much the efforts of
these nannies have paid off. The childrens' bright smiles and chubby cheeks say
it all: they have been changed by the love they have received from their
nannies!
We sure did have a lot to celebrate from this past year! Two
adoptions, successful surgeries, children learning to crawl and walk, and so
much more! During our celebration, each child was recognized and their nannies
were given a red envelope (a traditional monetary gift given during Chinese New
Years):
We finished the party off by showing a slideshow of the best
pictures from the past year (very hard to narrow down)!
May the Year of the Monkey be a new year filled with more stories of transformation, hope, and love!
Thoroughly enjoyed the video! Each child is so, so, very precious- Thanks much for the nannies - their dedication is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLove this- especially towards the end of the video where it sows how each one grew!
