Chinese New Year 2013

Of course we still do a little something for the Chinese New Year.  This year we visited the Muttart (Mutt -like a dog / Tart - with emphasis on tart).  They had a craft, music, a free jade plant to plant, and lovely displays.

 Here is the craft being made.  I thought it was suppose to be a hand catching "lucky" money.  But it is really suppose to be a tree and the gold dots the leaves.  The colors red and gold are lucky.

 Here are my 3 Buddhas. 
Yes, a snake to touch. All my kids did.  This year is the year of the snake, which is the year Spencer was born in so it will be a lucky year for him.  Hooray!
 Here I am with Aaron under an arched bench taking a break.
Here is Spencer with Evan and the dragon. 

In honor of Chinese New Year....I think that Chinese food would be a good choice.  Not the cheap junky kind that you regret later but real Chinese food from a chinese supermarket.
