YEAR OF THE TIGER!

We celebrated Chinese New Year last night! We had a blast among the crazy decorations, yummy food, games and fire crackers! We also exchanged Valentine's and spread a lot of L.O.V.E!

We ate pot stickers and ham-fried rice, Chinese chicken salad, edemame, and fortune cookies.

The decorations were crazy and fun and Layla loved them

After dinner we read our Chinese Fortune Sticks.
(last year mine said we'd get a baby!)

We played "Chinese Bingo" *not really anything to do with the holiday... but the kids love it and we give away fun little Chinese toys to the winners.

All the Grand-daughters wore their traditional dresses


We handed out Valentine Gifts after reading about everyone's Chinese Horoscope.
Layla's an Ox, Kevin's a Sheep, and Shannon's a Rooster

And last but not least... we set off some fire-crackers to ward off the evil spirits!
WE HAD SO MUCH FUN AND CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE THE TRADITION BIGGER AND BETTER EVER YEAR!
Happy New Year!
