Chinese New Year

January 25, 2009

For Chinese New Year we decided to cook some chinese food, make some decorations, and invite the Hayeks over. Now that we've had home-made General Tsao chicken, the stuff from the restaurants just doesn't measure up anymore. And we even made our own fortune cookies!

  
some of the Chinese New Year Menu included:
General Tsao chicken, beef and broccoli and chinese fried rice.

Christopher takes a stab at poppa's food.

Christopher discovers how chinese people stay so skinny...
it's impossible to get any food in your mouth with these chopsticks!

Helena, Sam and Joe have their own table now.

Samantha reads her fortune: Why did the chicken lay an egg on the roof?
Cause it wanted to see the egg roll!

Our home-made fortune cookies.

Some colouring and chinese paper lanters to decorate for the party.
