Good friends sharing Lunar New Year with us. We had food brought by friends, food made before hand by us and food prepared by all at the gathering. Must say a HUGE Thank You to "The Pete" who is my on-call chef. Could not do this without you. Mmmmmmm to all!!! Yummy stuff!!!! I admit that I just dug into the leftover spring rolls as I am typing!
At Lunar New Year, babies and children abounded. If you weren't careful, you got tagged to hold one! Tak, of course, has the touch.
Eric, seriously??? Yes, it is the Year of the Tiger but the tiger claw is a bit much... We had two tables to hold the adults and the kiddos were farmed out into the other room. Close but happy quarters.
Looking the other way down the table... 14 adults
Kiddos marching around with the dragon while the adults made noise to scare the dragon away and ensure good luck for the upcoming year. In this photo, you can see the two lead girls have taken off their clothes and switched to princess gear. The children marched around the house 3 times with the dragon and then promptly tore it to shreds.
Egg rolls, Korean Beef, Lemon Chicken, Rice, Soup, Peanut Noodle Salad and Molter Spring Rolls. On my Grama's plates on her Grama's table.
It's blurry but this picture is so sweet...This young lady is awaiting HER baby brother's Homecoming from South Korea. He is two and their family anticipates the travel call any day to go get him! Tonight, she played with Ty and practiced her sign language, prepping for her new brother! Our hearts overflowed to see these two together, knowing that this big sister is sooo ready to welcome her little brother home!!!! This photo is worth much more than a thousand words!
The Dragon TeamSo, there is our night. Happy Year of the Tiger to all of you!!! We are blessed to share this with dear friends and remember that we are part of a celebration much bigger than our families, town or country. We have connections to others across the globe and tonight, I thank and remember those who loved and cared for my children. We also remember those who have gone before us and know that they are part of us still today. Gung Hay Fat Choy Happy New Year!

Such a fun time! I wish we could have been there. Perhaps next time. Happy New Year to everyone!
Happy Lunar New Year to you! I'm very envious of all that food. :) We'll do some bulgogi tonight and call it good. ;)
