A Chinese Pilgrim

As a Thanksgiving homework assignment (yes, that's so 2009), Aidan was asked to create a piece of art on what it means to be a pilgrim.  He chose ye ye (my dad's dad) as his subject.  Ye ye was the first Li to emigrate to the U.S. from China.  Our family is very thankful to him and nai nai (my mom) for affording us the opportunity to live in this beautiful country--and have the freedom to make such precious art!
