Happy New Year!

Last night we had our first annual Lentz Family Chinese New Year party. We had quite the turn out. Even more than expected through word of mouth. We had a feast of egg rolls, crab rangoon, more egg rolls, fried rice, more egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken and kung pao chicken and noodles. I can only take credit for the Kung pao chicken and noodles and fried rice. The thanks goes to Costco - who knew they had so much good Chinese food! We spent the entire day cleaning and making food and Everest was quite content entertaining himself. He has wanted a "big boat" like the submarine he plays with at daycare so for a Chinese New Year's present we took a trip out to Toys R Us to find one. Note: big boats that stand up to my son's expectations are not easy to find. People started to arrive around 7:00 and the last of them left around 12:00. Everest had a great time. Beth and Bob actually made Tiger masks complete with glitter stripes and felt ears. Huge hit. Ryan is still in bed.

Everest's daycare had a Sweetheart's Dance on Friday. It was super cute. All the parents came to the daycare and they had crafts and a bubble machine and a photo booth. Just had a child climb onto my lap so I am cutting this short. Will post a couple of pics later!
