Chinese Lunar New Year!

Last Wednesday was the eve of Chinese Lunar New Year. As a tradition, it is customary for the family to get together to have a reunion dinner. Even though we are so faraway from home, we feel that it is important for us to celebrate such an important occasion. This is Sheri's second lunar New Year, but I don't think she remembers anything for the first one since she was just a newborn baby. This year, she is more aware of her surroundings. Just look at the way she fiddles with the New Year's decoration.

Usually, we will have steamboat with our family back in Singapore. In order not to give it a miss, Mommy took some time to prepare our traditional steamboat for dinner on last Wednesday. Of course, I must confess that the food that we have for steamboat will definitely not be able to match that of our mothers in Singapore, but it does look quite reasonable, isn't it?


Unlike in Singapore where the weather is so warm, I think that it makes more sense for us to eat steamboat here as the heat from the steamboat really keeps us warm in such a cold weather.

A family shot before we start eating! Xin Nian Kuai Le!

Last but not least, many thanks to daddy's sister for sending us all these New Year's goodies!
