Now some of you may have celebrated February 14th with some sappy hearts, flowers, or chocolates- but not us! No sir- we didn't celebrate some Hallmark holiday- we celebrated the Chinese New Year! We had tons of food and lots of friends over. Happy Year of the Tiger!
We got lots of decorations and food- I made that awesome Dragon above.
Our little Buddha shrine - including the paper money
Oranges and bamboo- apparently traditional New Year's decor
I went crazy with a pack of red construction paper- decorating on the cheap
Peeps at the party- including 5 little ones running around
We had dragon masks for the kids to color
Everyone got to try on the traditional farmers hat
A tradition- burning paper money for your ancestors. The kids REALLY liked being allowed to light things on fire. The paper money below.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
