Chinese New Year 2017

Welcome, Year of the Rooster- the fire rooster.  January 28 this year was Chinese New Year.
While Jeremy was at work, Jr. Jr. taught his siblings how to make lanterns.  They had fun with that.

I spent some time making food (Jeremy and I had made some things ahead of time, but there was still plenty to do).
Jeremy brought a big fire rooster home with him from work

"He's a chicken, I tell ya'.  A giant chicken."

Name that TV show- the kids got to watch some earlier in the day.

Jeremy also brought home a Chinese knot so we had plenty of decorations.

He also helped me finish up the food which was yummy... again.  Thanks, Jeremy.

Lucky also helped.

We had Orange Chicken and Not Orange Chicken, Ham Fried Rice, Egg Rolls, Chow Mein.

Of course we had fortune cookies at the end.  Here are a few of our fortunes.
