We welcomed in the Chinese New Year (the year of the dog - dogs rule!) in true Chinese style with 500 other people. This is an annual event sponsored by the FCC (Families with Children From China) and this was our third time participating but our first time with a child. Jemma was in true form that night, socializing with the crowds even though she was sick as a dog - though we didn't know it yet. Even after 5 months we are still the worst parents! Actually, she was cutting two molars so we thought that's all it was. No, turns out two days later we took her to the doctor and she had shingles! Oy, don't ask. We never even knew she had chicken pox! Nonetheless, we had a swell time at the Empress Pavillion, downing ten courses of very good Los Angeles Chinese food. And to top it off, we all got to pose with the beautiful Miss LA Chinatown - looks like mommy is vying for a shot at the crown, too!
