Chinese New Year
2013--Year of the Snake
When we arrived, we were escorted to our table where a menu was waiting for us. Next we got to pick what item we wanted. There were 4 options...Option A; Option B; Option C; and Option D!! I picked the option with the chicken dumplings. Mmmm...they were delish!!
Here is the menu...
My plate, which was tasty!!
Mom and Becky's plate of food!
Some awesome calligraphy...pretty cool, huh?
Next was my daughters turn...
They did a traditional fan dance...

As always it's a very fun time to go to the Chinese New Year Festival. The entertainment, decorations, food, and information about overall Chinese culture was so brilliant!! Enjoyed being proud of my daughter and our other "adopted daughters" (a.k.a. her friends!!) Can't wait till next year!
Thanks for inviting me, daughter, Shan!!
Love you!! MUAH!
