Chinese New Year

The boys started the new year by dressing themselves in red.

 Jack was more interested in looking like a pirate.

 Charlie was really excited.

 Just think what the party at his house
will be like when he has his 14 kids,
all adopted from China.

(Yep.  That's his plan for adulthood.
No wife!
Just seven boys and seven girls
and a bus.)

 We made lanterns.

 Decorated with stickers.

The lanterns didn't make it through the day,

 but there still are stickers stuck to the floor to prove it.

Had Chinese for supper and read all kinds of books on the holiday.

Since it lasts fifteen days, we're trying to celebrate the entire way through.

Sure I'll have more pictures to share later.

Until then, Xin Nian Kuai Le!
