Chinese New Year

We had lots of opportunities to celebrate Chinese New Year.  Joseph had a class party last Friday.  That night we were invited to another party with some other Taiwanese families.  The kids made out like bandits with the hong bao (red envelopes).   On Sunday I hosted a Chinese New Year dinner with a couple of families in the ward.  Then on Monday, Audrey’s class had a little celebration as well.  Joseph’s little friend Annie said that for Chinese New Year “We eat, and then we eat again!”  That is a good description of what has been going on the last few days…lol.   Our apartment complex is all decorated for Chinese New Year and the staff even wore Chinese clothing.  The kids got to see a Lion dance at school and fed the Lion red envelopes.  Some day we may have to go some place where they really celebrate Chinese New Year.  I think that would be exciting to see.

 

Pictures of the kids counting their loot.  Poor Joseph wasn’t feeling well that night.
