To celebrate the Lunar New Year (aka Chinese New Year), we had dinner with Po-Po, Uncle Eddie, Auntie Lia, Caylie and Nathan in Fremont. We went to a new restaurant that Po-Po's friend recommended.
Mommy and daddy learned their lesson last year. This time they packed lots of snacks...just in case it took forever for the food to arrive. It was a good thing too because Mason was starving by the time we got there.
Mommy has been teaching me new year greetings so that I could
surprise Po-Po. She taught me to say, "Xin Nian Kuai Le. Gong Xi Fa
Chi." Translation: "Happy New year. Wishing you good fortune." Sometimes
I can say it on my own. Other times, I need some help with the first
word and then I'll remember the rest. Po-Po was really impressed when I
greeted her and gave me a hong bao (red envelope). Mason and I were more
interested in the envelope than the money inside. Mommy's pretty sure
that will change as we get older.
Caylie sat in Daddy's lap during dinner. I think she really likes daddy. I didn't really mind sharing daddy, but Mason didn't like that one bit. As soon as he finished eating and got out of his high chair, he walked over to daddy. Waving his arms in front of him, he said, "No Caylie. My daddy."
Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
