It's not Chinese New Year Without...

FIREWORKS!!

This year Danny spared no expense when he was buying fireworks and apparently the locals felt the same way because we saw some awesome fireworks displays right behind and in front of our house!! The kids favorite this year were the "ayis" - I'm not sure we were teaching them a good lesson by blowing up the ayis, but Danny thought it was hilarious! On the last night of lighting off fireworks, Danny was preparing a sparkler for Ellie when the end blew up. That was the end of our fireworks extravaganza!!

We did have one problem with the fireworks and that was sweet Mei Mei - she was terrified. On the final night, people were setting them off for nearly 8 hours straight. Mei refused to go potty outside. Poor thing had to sleep in her crate that night because we didn't want her to have an accident in bed!!

This is the aftermath of Chinese New Year!!
