So last night we enjoyed a nice warm night celebrating Chinese New Year! Did you? Last year I put on a fun shaa-bang {you can see here} and the kids just LOVED it! So this year I thought I would do the same thing! Why not? I see it as a wonderful way to grub down on some tasty Chinese Food while creating those fun memories with your family!
This year I added some cool napkins and placemats I scored for .50 at a garage sale! It really added the perfect touch to the table.
This year I decided grabbing Chinese takeout! I found that to be very nice as I was not slaving in the kitchen {don't get me wrong I love cooking} - but Love some great Chinese food that is hot and ready just waiting to be grubbed on!
Happy Chinese New Year!
My fortune this year: Express yourself don't hold back!

ReplyDeleteAw that is so fun! I love that the napkins and placemats came from a yard sale. Score!

How fun! I always loved this time of year when I taught preschool. All of the dragon crafts! But you took it to eleven with the beautiful table AND the dinner. I just may be making lettuce wraps tonight...

ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this idea, and totally stealing it! I love dragons and the lanterns...too fun! Look at D eating with no shirt...what do you live in Cali or somethin?
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tradition! And three boys?! I have two and I'm always thinking that if we were to have another, I'd love to have three boys!
ReplyDeleteI love those napkins! Why don't I ever find garage sale treasures like that? This looks like so much fun-I have three boys too and I bet they'd love it!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so disappointed that we missed out on a good excuse to get chinese food! Oh well, there's always next year! I love that you removed shirts in case of over-enthusiastic eating. :)
