Chinese New Year


Year of the Dragon! We had 8 lucky dragons about the house.
The girls did all of the decorating.
The red ribbons that tie us to China.
Lanterns
Home made fortune cookies with home-made fortunes!

My amazing parents.
On the menu: Sesame chicken, Asian green beans, dumplings, and ham fried rice.
For dessert, our version of Nian Gao (sticky cake), red velvet cupcakes with red (-ish) velvet frosting.
Some of the crowd.
Red confetti, red napkins, and red eyes!

Chickie in her Chinese silks.
My brother brought this gigantic koi! It was awesome! Sort of looks dragonish huh?
It was such a fun party. Our families could not be cooler and more supportive. They are just as excited as we are. And we can't wait!!
