CHINESE NEW YEAR - FAMILY GET TOGETHER

Last Saturday, our family had a get together party to celebrate the Chinese New year. We invited a Lion dance troupe to bring good luck and prosperity to our family. Almost everybody was wearing red, a sign of good luck and fortune for Chinese New Year.
Happy kids and the old man

Just before 18:00 hours, the Lion dance troupe arrived at the gate of our house and greeted us with the beat of the drum and cymbals. This troupe moving-in with three "Lions"

It was amazing to see so much food prepared by my wife with the support from the maid and my sisters-in-law. The menu included roasted pork, Chinese sausages, sweet and sour fish, spring rolls, steamed chickens, Yam-pork, adobo, macaroni salad and others.

It was a fabulous evening with the "Lions" and the food!!! What we missed were our son and daughter who were unable to return because of work commitment.
