Chinese New Year

What a wonderful Chinese New Year celebration we had. We started in the morning off with Valentine's and sleeping in. Then after lunch we got dressed in our Chinese dresses and went to the Gylling's house to celebrate The Year of the Tiger. There were 7-8 different families there and all the girls were dressed up. When we got there, they were beginning to make dumplings. It was hard to get Sarah interested but once she made one, she made 100. The adults also liked making the dumplings. After dumpling making, we made crafts. Donna had 3 different crafts for the girls to make. There was a take out box to decorate, a mobile to make and zodiac scratch off coloring. All the girls had fun with the crafts.
We went ourtide to take pictures of the firls and some adults with the lion head on and then went in and ate and played the Wii. The girls were playing the guitar, drums and singing to the Beatles. It was a fabulous day. Each girl went home with 3red envelopes. It was a good thing we had Monday off the recoperate from the weekend.
