We thought it'd be fun to teach the kiddos something new so we had a little shin dig last night, courtesy of P.F. Chang's Red Envelope Celebration Kit.
The eve of Chinese New Year, January 22nd, is marked by having a feast with loved ones. What better way to teach the kids than SHOWING them by celebrating with our very own feast?! 
According to the Chinese New Year traditions, after dinner is a very exciting time for the kids. They await a red envelope containing money from their parents. Then they put the red envelope under their pillow and they believe they will sleep well without bad dreams. Isn't that cute? They also believe by doing that, they'll become richer the next year (I need to start doing that, lol!)
We talked about the cool dragon calendar, dressed up our surroundings with awesome red lanterns, and cooked dinner [P.F. Chang's new Home Menus] in less than 10 mins.
To give our honest opinion of the Home Menus, they were delicious! I attempted to trick the hubby into thinking I made them by scratch but he knew I wasn't capable of getting all those flavors just right (; We will definitely get again, they were tasty! Juicy meat + crunchy veggies, just like their restaurants [without the hassle of driving, waiting in line + dragging the kids along]. Win-win = yum yum!!
