Chinese New Year

We decided to have a Chinese New Year party this year. Blake came home from school telling us all about the Year of the Ox and how to stack oranges and apples for decorations.
They practiced writing Chinese characters & decorated the red money envelopes we exchanged.
Colin even got a handsome new haircut...a Chinese New Year tradition.
Blake decorated his envelopes and was so generous with his money. He stuffed mine with all his best foreign coins that he collects.
We made fried rice for dinner.

If this isn't the cutest little blog I have ever seen! I'm so envious of the background. You must teach me some day (I had to have my friend that lives in Idaho do mine...so sad).

I'm so excited you've finally launched the blog!
