Gung hei faat choi

Chinese New Year was today, and we celebrated the same way we would celebrate any Chinese holiday; we ate and ate and ate. I would like to blame my overeating on the fact that it is the Year of the Pig, but unfortunately, I do this at every traditional chinese dinner.

Grandma and Grandpa Shek were in town with Uncle Alvin. Aaron brought along Fabienne, Andrew, John, and Bill to join us for the festivities.

Everyone, including Dylan, eating good food:

Dylan was so happy to celebrate his first New Year:
