Gung Hay Fat Choy

Happy Chinese (Lunar) New Year!!!

Welcome year of the HORSE
(which is Jen's year)  and farewell to Matt and Lawsyn's year of the Snake.

May this new year bring you good health, prosperity and happiness.

Kalista refers to the red envelopes as her "Chinese".

Happy Lunar New Year!

GUNG HAY FAT CHOY

Yes...it is that time of year again. We cleaned our house and swept away all the bad luck from 2010. We packed our red envelopes for all you young single folk out there. We have become vegetarians for the day and we are avoiding sharp objects so we don't bring bad luck for 2011 (yeah...it's superstitious...we know).

We just found out that the second day of New Year's is to celebrate the birth of dogs. Evidently, we are supposed to be super kind to all dogs and treat them like kings and queens. Never knew that...thank you wikipedia! It looks like Joey and Bella will be feasting tomorrow.
