Chinese New Year...Thursday was the celebration of the Chinese New Year at Jacob's school. They made darling chinese lanterns and brought home chopsticks, a chinese takeout carton, and various other chinese items. Jacob wants to make chinese lanterns for the rest of his family so we can have a parade...ha! After he got home from school, he decided we should have takeout chinese food for dinner so he could use his chopsticks. So we did! Cute!

Playdate...Julia and I went over to her friend, Mattias, house after school for a playdate. They had a lot of fun and played very well together. Julia and Mattias became immediate friends at the beginning of the school year. They aren't in the same class or even in the same building. But both of them have very outgoing personalities so they struck up a friendship walking to and from school to our cars. Now, Mattias waits outside for her everyday and they hug and hold hands. It is very cute.
