Happy Chinese New Year!!
Another year come and gone and here we are in the year of the Tiger! Is this little girl growing up or what? Katie turns 18 months in 3 days and she was able to enjoy her first Chinese New Year festivities on her own two feet. She played outdoors in beautiful weather with her cousins, did her own hand gesture to wish others a happy new year, say thank you for red envelopes, stick out her hands for the red envelopes, watched lion dances and long strands of firecrackers burn while mommy and aunties covered her ears.
New Year's Eve dinner at Grandma (Yogi's Mom's) house on Saturday night was great. We had a lot of fun watching Katie's cousins chow down enormous homemade sesame balls for more red envelopes. Katie was only willing to sit still for 5 whole minutes to finish her noodles and off she went to her Daddy or out to the front yard to play with her cousins.
On New Years Day (Sunday), we spent the entire day with my family. We started out taking formal family pictures at a local studio, watched the lion dance and martial art performances outside SF Market, then off to Thundervalley for a late lunch. It was Katie's first visit to a casino and she was loving the lights and sounds. She kept nudging us to the slots thinking they were video games but not at her age. We all came home a winner with more money or a free meal from the winners.
Katie was on que when told to wish friends and family a happy new year. She folds her hands together in front of her and in return received plenty of $$$ for her piggy bank :o) Keep them coming!!
