Xin Nian Kuaile! Gongxi Fa Cai!
We celebrated the Chinese New Year with Chinese food of course! Sorry to all of my non-Chinese Asian friends that call it the Lunar New Year, but it will always be Chinese New Year in my heart.
I didn't take pictures of all of us, but I did snap some cute ones of Noé. Since she can no longer fit into her beautiful Chinese clothes, she put on some of her lovely Indian ones and did her hair and make-up all fancy.
We went around the table sharing a goal we'd like to accomplish this year as well as reading our fortunes from our yummy cookies. Here's what we all said/read:
Leonard-
To become a spy.
We would often be sorry if our wishes came true.
Jennifer-
To turn our house back into our home.
Family is more valuable than money.
Kaleb-
To fly a glider.
You have keen intuition and emotional sensitivity.
Noé-
To audition for the school dance team.
Romance is just around the corner. (Oh No!)
Gavin-
To become a ninja.
Do not burden yourself with trivial matters.
Teague-
To take Taekwondo.
Be generous, and the favor will be returned.
Hiram-
Also, to take Taekwondo.
You will have an exciting business adventure.
Ali-
To take dance class.
Keep a balance between your goals and your gentle nature.
Macy-
To have a successful heart surgery!
Know the right moment and make your move.
