CNY Celebration

We had our CNY celebration at a local restraunt. Once they saw me set out the moon cakes and party favors they went all out with special CNY treats. We even recieved red envelopes and gave envelopes to the owners litle girls who sang for them in the traditional manner. New years music played and Bella was shown a video of New Years in China. My good friend Diane and her son drove all the way out to Clermont for the celebration. I didn't get many pictures as the B takes a lot of attention to keep her from destroying the place.

Kung Hei Fat Choy! Gong Xi Far Tsai!

Happy New Year to All! The envelopes are ready for our party tomorrow. I went to the Asian market and brought special choclate gold coins, candies, mandarin oranges and dried plums. I have ordered special moon cakes without milk or egg that I will pick up tomorrow.  We are going out to eat  with friends and will visits the neighbor kids across the street to bring them little red envelopes.

An over tired Bella Boo

Well Izzy had a Valentine Day party today, actually 2. One at school and one at daycare. She was spinning out of control (a sugar high) when I picked her up from daycare and was very cranky and clumsy till 7:30pm when she asked to go to bed and then cried herself to sleep. This does not bode well for a busy weekend of Valentine's Day and CNY. Maybe she is just tired of the cold wet weather in FL.
