I love, love, love holidays. I love to do crafts and activities with with my kids and have fun creating memories. This year when I found out that Valentines Day was going to fall on Chinese New Year, I was excited. Two fun themes thrown together in one! Though I never have the time to do all the ideas that come into my head, we at least managed to get some of them done. My daughter and I (who loves holidays and crafts as much as I do) made pink paper lanterns to set the mood. My husband and I as of late have enjoyed cooking new food together. It's been a wonderful way to spend time with each other and to eat something other than the same old, same old we always eat. We were ambitious and decided to try and cook four chinese dishes: Crab Rangoon, Ginger Beef, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Lettuce Wraps. They actually didn't turn out too bad, the lettuce wraps being my favorite. Then for everyones Valentines from me I made mini chinese boxes with candy and a fortune cookie in it. What a fun day which made for some sweet memories!!
