Chinese New Years

We have an annual Chinese New Years Party, not because we are Chinese, or follow their calendar at all, but it is a really good excuse to eat lots of chinese food and leave all the kids at home.
Sammy was awake for the start of the party, I really only kept him up to show of his cute chinese PJs and hat. Tommy had his first big sleep-over with Grandma, it was wonderful.
My chinese centerpiece

Candise and Vanessa, what a cute couple.


We play a big "crazy rook" tournament. Jesse stayed at table #5 for most of the night. And no Josh, I was not trying to cheat by taking this picture.


Some girls at the 'loser' table, it was in the playroom and you had to play on an ikea kids table and chairs.


Some men at table four, this is my favorite picture, I'm not sure why, but the group of them make me laugh every time.




Ken and Barbie, I mean Mike and Steph...always ready for the perfect pose.


Some more of the players. I looks like the boys just got beat, and the girls are pretty happy about it.


The winners table, I can tell because they got TWO bowls of treats.

What a great party! Every one of those pictures makes me laugh for a different reason.

p.s. Love the newly styled blog. I was torn with the poll but my support of girl power won out in the end.

How sad am I that I don't live closer to you so I'm missing your awesomely fun parties and going to SYTYCD concerts! So sad. You are too cute, your party looks like so much fun and I love you. And your ridiculously cute little boys. My goodness, they are cute, Ems!
