Over the weekend, this Mommy had a lot of fun celebrating Chinese New Year! Our host son / exchange student (from China) led the festivities to reign in the Year of the Dragon. What a blast!

 |
| "Happy Spring Festival" - the technical translation |
 |
| No one went home hungry |
 |
| We played about eight rounds of Mah Jong - but not for money!! |
 |
| Paper Lanterns, of course (and everyone wore red to match) |
 |
| Nothing better than a snowy firework show |
It was surely a great time...but now it's going to be all work this week! And, as I get writing (with plenty to write about) - so should you! Need an idea? Don't forget that I'm hosting a
writing contest with real prizes! Check out the original post to the contest details
here.
Happy New Year! Again!

How lucky are you! I bet it meant a lot to him that you had so much fun and let him gift you with some wonderful food and traditions. Great post with pictures.
What a great experience for you all. Pure magic! (P.S. So the library got you as well! Dearie me.) ;)
Patricia - yes, I feel blessed!
Carrie - It was a great experience (but not the library thing...)
Happy New Year. I am addicted to Mahjong! Great blog!
That looked very special. Happy Chinese New Year!
Looks and sounds like fun was had by all! How cool that your host son can cook!
Okay, seeing the food shot made me really hungry this morning!
He looks like a delightful person. And he cooks, too!
I think student exchange programs are the best. Our family hosted roughly 15 students over the years (some stayed with us a whole year) and I was an exchange student, too. They were life changing, world opening experiences!
