Elli's favorite color is light blue…"like the sky", she says. During the Chinese New Year Lantern Festival, a light blue lantern launched in the night sky means "hoping something comes true".
Elli also likes red (my favorite color on her), which in Chinese culture symbolizes good luck, happiness, and joy. Launching a red lantern during the Lantern Festival means "good fortune".
Here are some pictures from our adoption trip to China in July 2011. Notice all the red Chinese lanterns decorating the buildings.
Elli looked precious in her red Chinese dress.
