We celebrated the start of the Chinese New Year with a party at Xanders school. We brought in some books to read and some things I bought Xander while in China. When I talked about China and Xanders posessions he smiled from ear to ear. His teacher thought it was so cute because you could see how proud he was!
I did make him wear his silks today and he wasn't too pleased-he doesn't like anything with a collar, Mandarin included :)
We made a dragon cake and the little guy helped decorate-he was pretty excited!
Friday night we ordered some take out and had our New Years Meal then, it was very good!
Xander was practicing his chop-stick skills. I think this is the first time he has tried them-didn't do too bad either :)
This boy loves to eat-he really liked the noodles.
We have a lantern to light off outside but since it's snowing here, I doubt it would float away! We will have to wait for a clear night.
Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
Looks like a really wonderful celebration. We had a great time here too. Matthew thought it was like Christmas--he was so happy! He just gets cuter every time I see him.
