Actually Chinese New Year is not till the 23rd, but due to busy schedules we celebrated a bit early this year. Our dear friend Lily came for a visit today bearing some of the most delicious Chinese food, including a walnut shrimp dish that was absolutely incredible! We ate off red plates since red is a lucky color in Chinese culture, and used our stuffed Spyro the Dragon as the centerpiece since we will be entering the year of the Dragon. We ate, talked, laughed, and consumed several cups of Jasmine tea each. Sometimes the most wonderful celebrations are the simple ones shared with friends. Good luck in the coming year of the Dragon! Next year is my year, the year of the Snake. Ssssssssee you sssssssoon!

HA! We were just talking about the Chinese New Year in school yesterday! Fun! I am a dragon. Although Marli (little Toothless) fits the part better. ;) James will be jealous, he wants to be a snake but alas he is a sheep. I love reading your blog and keeping up with y'all.
