Chinese Lantern Festival

As part of the Chinese new year celebrations in Hamilton, they had a lantern festival.  Chinese music, dancers, singers, food, so good.  Malachi was really into it; he has a couple of little buddies at his preschool who are Chinese, and his favourite teacher at school is Chinese, so he gets books from the library all the time about China.  He told me he wants to be Chinese. Lol.   The boys loved the music so much, dancing their little hearts out.  Everyone got given little lanterns to hold, and at dusk they lit up the giant hanging lanterns.  Such a fun night.  Sad Tui had to work and couldn't be there, but hey, someone has to work to fund our activities. :)

Getting their chinese groove on.

Vili got confused, thought it was  Japanese Festival, and busted out his sumo moves.
(Notice the lady behind him laughing?  She was one of many.)
