We had a FUN time celebrating Chinese New Year with friends.
We are so blessed to have some friends who have helped us to celebrate Faith's culture well for the past few years by inviting us over for Chinese New Year and by showing us around our local Asian grocery store.
This year, my friend's mom and dad were here visiting from China and helped prepare a traditional Chinese dinner. They helped the kids make dumplings, too.
Faith's dumpling skins turned out perfectly flat and round every time! She is a natural!
They were delicious! One of them had a red m&m in it for luck. Gabe found the chocolate!
My friend's dad was a chef - so we were spoiled with a lovely and very tasty dinner all made by hand!
There were gifts for each child and red envelopes with money, too!
Brandon read a few stories about Chinese New Year and we did a paper cutting craft.
We even watched the Chinese New Year special - well, parts of the 5 and a half hour show including some Chinese Opera.
We left the celebration with full bellies and happy hearts, ready for the year of the dog.
