Happy New Year!
It's the year of the pig (or wild boar) and last night we celebrated with friends and family. We ordered Chinese Food from China King and had a feast. We had special guests who moved here from China that made the celebration even more meaningful. And although it was a very Americanized version of the Chinese New Year's eve, it was a lot of fun and we plan to continue the tradition every year. We also had special guests from Iowa, my dear Aunt and Uncle who I don't see nearly enough. It was a real treat to have them here. Grace dressed up in her finest Chinese outerwear straight from Chinatown in San Francisco! You'd think she would at least be wearing something from China. But my Mom got her the outfit and it was perfect for the occasion so she wore it. The only problem is, now her chest is stained red from all the drooling onto her new Chinese red outfit. She's getting more teeth and drooling like a maniac! At least Ally was wearing her authentic Chinese dress. She looked fabulous in it.
