Happy Chinese New Year

Welcome to the Year of the Ox.

People born in the Year of the Ox are placid, patient and have great physical stamina. They are born leaders who stubbornly defend their opinions against any argument. 2009, the Year of the Earth Ox, brings additional straightforwardness and solidity to the Ox making them loyal and focused, with honesty and kindness.

I plied the kids with Chinese take-out. (That's how I got the great apron photos - they owed me.) Jeff and Sprout are the only ones attempting chopsticks. Jeff just got back from spending four months in China. He's quite good with his chopsticks. Sprout gave it a good try but eventually reverted to a fork. Otherwise she might have starved.

We then sat around the table for about two hours talking about everything and nothing at all. It was great.

How did you spend your Chinese New Years?
