The year of the rabbit has ended with the dawning of the dragon! We are recent fans of the Chinese New Year. After doing a Chinese New Year party last year I think we may do one every year. The Chinese don't make you stay up until midnight to celebrate their new year. It was kind of a crazy day so we didn't go all out as I had hoped but we did have a delicious Chinese dinner. That was basically it. It was funny to hear Jack talk about the Chinese New Year. We aren't sure what was going through his head. He made some comments like, "China is dancing" and then danced around. He also said "I hear China". We also went with family housing to a Chinese restaurant, Hibachi Grill, on the following Saturday to celebrate. About 80% of family housing are from China so it makes sense we celebratedIt was a free buffet and super yummy! We love family housing.

| Our Chinese buffet. I love making Jeannie Inouye's crab cream cheese wontons! It takes me back to Young Women's and they are sooo good. |

| Our decorations were a failure this year. Not only did our printer break that I was going to use to print off Logan's awesome art and post everywhere, but the lanterns kept falling down so I gave up with these 3 measly lanterns. |

We had oranges because they are a traditional Chinese fruit eaten on the New Year as a symbol of good health and long life. We also had Poky! I remember my grandparents brought us some of this home from Hong Kong when I was a little girl and loved it!

And just think- while you were celebrating I was in extreme pain delivering a baby. But I'm glad you had fun! I remember those candies too! And remember the dolls she gave us? Where are those anyway?
