It is time to get ready for Chinese New Year!
This will be the 3rd for us(we missed last year due to a rodeo).
We usually have a house full of people , a ton of food
AND a healthy dose of Chinese Techno music!
No Fireworks! It freaks out the horses and our Basset, Bob.
This is a picture of Mary Elizabeth during her first Chinese
New Year Celebration.
She had been home just shy of a year.
When we traveled to meet her, we caught China's celebration at the end.
The locals were still going strong.
We were still able to see fireworks over the Forbidden City. It was COOL!
If anyone is interested- Pier*1 has silk Take-Out boxes on clearance for $1.88 per.
We are going to use them for "Swag Bags".
I can't wait!
I do love a party.;)
PEACE.
Fun! We started the tradition of a party as well. I'd love to hear about what you do to get some ideas! Guess I need to look at a calendar to figure out when it comes this year.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE a party as well. :-)
aunt Andrea isn't Chinese New year on Feb. 14 love Riley
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Going to have to have hubby find Chinese Techno! We went to China town last year although this year, we are probably going to make lanterns & parade them up and down the street. Also they have dragon dancers that run around in the casinos... we may just have to run down and follow along. Where's my cabbage?
ReplyDeleteYou love a party? Who would have guessed???? :)
