Chinese New Year's Eve

Happy New Year! Tomorrow we start the Year of the Dragon! My year. Awesome, awesome animal.  

In celebration, we had a lunch party at our house with other Asian families similar to us (mothers are Chinese, fathers are Caucasian). We didn't actually plan it that way, it's just how it happened...the mixed race families. We did also have our good friends, Paul and Gabi, and their children over as well. We had a Korean taco bar. Others brought noodles, chicken, more noodles, sticky rice, and bbq pork in a bun.

The kids had a fun time playing, but mostly loved the fact that we put on a movie for them to watch. And, since there were more girls to boys in the bunch, I think it made a difference in the level of craziness in playing. What all this means is simply that the parents all got to hang out and talk to each other!! And, eat! And, eat!
This picture makes me giggle.

It was quite the feast.

And, since Tyler skipped his nap, after everyone had left, we had to separate the boys for being a bit too rough on each other, and Tyler fell asleep sitting up. We tried to have him lie down, but he only got angry at us, and continued to sleep sitting up.

After he woke, we all sat down to watch the end of the 49ers/Giants game. We ended up eating dinner in the TV room due to overtime. It was actually pretty funny the set up we had. Go Giants!!
