Did You Know Today Is Chinese New Year?

Did you know today is Chinese New Year?



It begins the Year of the Rat.



Both my dad and my daughter were born in the year of the rat. (That's right-one big rat and one little rat!) We celebrated early last weekend with friends. We had the traditional fish-well, not traditional in the sense of bones, tail and head-fried rice, stir fry veggies, fruits, and fortune cookies. I even found chocolate fortune cookies!





And all the kids received their red packets.



Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Once again, a great and pleasant learning experience for the kids. (Including me!)

ha ha!

yes, we had a nice time. we try to do to this every year w/ our friend. when the kids were younger we spent more time on the "learning" aspect-they made decorations and one year even made dragon masks out of cardboard boxes to perform a "dragon dance"-always lots of great fun! :)
