Chuc Mung Nam Moi & Happy Valentine's Day

In the future if the Lunar New Year falls on the same day as Valentine's day I think we will celebrate them on two different days :)
It seemed a bit strange to make crafts for Valentine's day, exchange valentine's cards & treats & then turn around and wish the kids a happy lunar new year with Vietnamese food. Owen looked a bit confused to say the least, he gobbled down his red rice & ginger chicken, but was all about the valentine's candy afterwards. We are attending a Tet celebration with friends on the 27th, but wanted to make an attempt to celebrate it on the day. Gavin and I were able to enjoy a romantic dinner saturday after the kids went to bed. Having both kids in bed by 8pm is pure bliss, and we have been enjoying having some time in the evenings to ourselves. We have even been discussing plans to have a weekend away without the kids! it will be the first night away from them since Owen's been home, besides the night that Noah was born. I don't think that counts as a mini vacation does it?
