What we learned:
- The Chinese Lantern Festival is a ancient tradition
- It marks the end of the New Year holiday
- Solving riddles are often a part the tradition (We all had to solve a riddle in order to get a hand made lantern)
When we went to light lanterns outside, it was snowing and the first lantern would not fly. We tried another lantern that was heart shaped, and it actually flew. It was a lot of fun!!! These kids are such a blessing from God. Everyday they bring so much joy to our apartment.
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 15:19

This was a dragon the kids made for the skit. It was impressive. |
Merry New Year! That lantern night looks like it was a blast!
