Our Lunar New Year Celebration

My new friend Tammi, who I met at the zoo a couple of weeks ago (yes, I meet people everywhere), invited us to a Lunar New Year celebration at her home last Friday. It was a pot luck dinner, so I made chicken lo mein. The girls were very excited about going, but we hit a snag at the last minute with Tony getting off work late. We didn't want to disappoint the girls, who were already dressed for the party and had been talking about it all day, so we had our own impromptu Lunar/Chinese New Year party at home! We ate the lo mein I had made for the party, then we had milk shakes and made Chinese lanterns. I'm bummed that we missed Tammi's party, but it was still a good evening.
