The Chinese New Year is not until january 23rd, but our family celebrated today.
Claire and I made red lanterns for our centerpiece. . .
Mason jars, red tissue paper and modge podge.
My Claire loves a good craft project!
Everyone participated in making Mrs. Lui's dumpling recipe. She was our Chinese teacher in Arizona and made dumplings with the kids during class for the Lunar New Year. We had trouble with the dough, so made an emergency run to the grocery for wrappers. They were still yummy, though! Must consult Mrs. Lui for next year!
David told stories about dragons. . .
and well, we just had a fun liesurely dinner together.
Didn't the lanterns turn out beautifully?
It is a joy to recognize the Chinese festivals as part of our family's traditions.
