Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year "Feb-7"
Adrian is taking all of us out to a Dim Sum feast in Chinatown for the Chinese New Year down on Mott Street. He said that it’s a tradition that you hang out with your family and reminisce about the past year and welcome the new. It is believed that the children can prolong their parents' lives by participating. Since he's not with his family, he's adopted us to be the family and we're going to have Dim Sum!
Since we're doing the Super Bowl Sunday at Rick's we're going to miss the Chinatown parades. So we decided to do the Chinese New Year celebrations in Flushing instead. We're going to see the steel drummers, fireworks and my personal favorites--dragon dances.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention about Megan's birthday party. My mom sent me a bunch of stuff because she was making my old room into a crafts room for her scrapbooking stuff (she prints out all my email newsletters). There was a giant Valentine made of construction paper with glitter glue, little candy hearts and lace that Megan gave to me when we were in first grade. So I got it framed and gave it to her. She got all misty-eyed on me... and acting kind of weird, but she loved it, laughing and crying at the same time! She made a comment about my date with Kaitlin, the redhead I met last week. Wait until I tell you next week how wrong a date can go… but that's another story... See you next week, folks!
