Chinese New Year - Year of the Pig

Yesterday was Chinese new year and I actually planned to plan out a few craft activities for the kiddies to make some Chinese lanterns and some masks to celebrate the event. This year is the Year of the Pig which is also the year Joshua was born, 2007. Brandon and Tina are the year of the Ox, Holly is the year of the snake and I am the year of the rat.

As a special little treat we ordered in Chinese takeaway for the evening from the JustEat app for the first time. The service was pretty good and only arrived 10 minutes late, the food was hot and plentiful and despite 5 of us tucking in, there was still leftovers. To make the celebration a bit more authentic we dug out all our old Chinese crockery and chop sticks and then had Alexa playing some Chinese background music as well.

Plenty of food for everyone, plus our Chinese crockery set and chopsticks.

Our Alexa show set the scene with some Chinese background music.
