Year of the Pig

This little piggy went to the market, and this little piggy stayed home, and this little piggy had roast beef, and this little piggy...err...I think this is the piggy who had too much roast beef.

For the Chinese New Year, Bainbridge Island hosted a parade and put on a Dragon's dance performed by the local high school students. It was incredible to see so many people not of Chinese ancestry, be a part of this cultural celebration.

The streets were lined with red paper lanterns and crowds stood in line to have their names written in Chinese. Steaming pots of Chinese cuisine filled the air with mouth-watering smells.

This year, for those born to the year of the mud lovin' swine (like my hubby), it is a year to be filled with impatience, mobility, and change. If we're lucky, that means he's going to get a promotion and a fat raise. Then maybe I can be the lazy dog that I am.
