Chinese New Year

In elementary school I had an awesome teacher, her name was Mrs. C. (she had a long last name!)  Mrs. C. always celebrated Chinese New Year.  Every year I intead to eat chinese or do something festive but then life happens and I miss the day entirely!  This year we celebrated!

The boys, Adam and I made chinese latterns, went out to lunch and a local chinese restaurant and colored dragons (since this year is the year of the dragon!)  We ate dinner at home with some chopsticks and and Asian style table setting my sister gave me.  It was fun to celebrate something unique in the middle of January!

Happy NEW YEAR! YAY 2012!

We rang in the new year at Adam's parents house with lots of family close!  It was fun.  Last July we forgot to use some of the the fun pop fireworks and little pull confetti shooters, so we saved them for New Years Eve.  The kids had a blast and so did Adam and I!  Here are some fun pictures of our New Year's Weekend.
