Chinese New Year

In celebration of Chinese New Year, we had a "chinese" dinner (we actually made sushi, becuase that's a favorite for my boys and they could use their chop sticks!) and crafts. First we hit the local asian markets, where the boys picked out new chop sticks and some sweet treats. When we got home the boys set up the table and made lanterns to hang above our dinner.

The kids used rubber stamps to decorate their lanterns

Joaquin and I learned how to make paper cranes

We made felt fortune cookies for the play kitchen. We each wrote a fortune, Atlas' is the most random, and kind of sad, "THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS UNICORNS."

We also made some dancing ribbon dragons, that the boys had fun spinning around in circles with.
