Happy New Year

I thought I would wait to post until tonight to include our New Year dinner. We had a quite uneventful week. The girls are feeling better and John did not seem to get this cold. The girls did share with their mommy though. I am feeling better.

Our 5 year anniversary was on Saturday. We can not believe that we have been married for 5 years already. We pulled out our wedding pictures and we both made comments about how different we look,(boy do you age in 5 years). John laughed because we did not spent our anniversary together. We used the day to do projects that we needed to get done.

Today was Chinese New Year. We spent the morning running around and getting the food for dinner. I made Chinese Dumplings, Fried Rice, Longevity noodles, and snow peas and water chestnuts. I was quite shocked when it all came out.

The girls seemed to enjoy it. John and my mom liked the dumplings. I needed to use wonton skins, because my store did not have dumpling skins. I guess I need to try a Chinese grocery store.

After dinner, the girls did their traditional dancing. Jessa goes over to the stereo and hits the random button. Emma waits with great anticipation for the music to start. Then they go crazy dancing around our living room. Emma dances with this wonderful stiffness that only she could pull off.

Jessa has this stammer step that she does with her head tilted to the side. Maybe the girls will be good dancers like their mommy and not take after their daddy who does not dance for a reason. Hahaha!!!!

This coming weekend the girls are going to stay at Gramma and Grampa's so John and I can go away for our anniversary. I am looking forward to being away with John for a little while. I will have to let you know how it goes.
