Chinese New Year 2013

Chinese New Year was almost a month ago, but I am only getting around to blogging about it now :) This was Heidi's first Chinese New Year, and she received her very first ang pows from us early in the morning on the first day.


Okay, rewind a bit to the reunion dinner the night before. As usual, we had steamboat at my in-laws' place.


We also had some extra special dishes this year - Hubby's brother bought "Lap Mei Fan" (waxed meats rice) and Hubby bought "Yee Sang" from Sushi King. So it was definitely quite a spread.



Coincidentally, my birthday this year also fell on the first day of Chinese New Year, so at the reunion dinner, Hubby bought me an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins :) The kids sure enjoyed it, especially Hannah! :)


Heidi was asleep by the time we cut the cake, so we took family pictures with just the 3 of us.




Okay, so back to the first day of Chinese New Year. As usual, we went over to Hubby's parents' place early in the morning and Hannah and Heidi got ang pows from Ah Mah and Ah Gong.


Later we all headed up to Hubby's uncle's place in Batu Maung, and there we finally got some photos of the 4 of us.



This is a photo of all Hannah and Heidi's girl cousins on Hubby's side. Heidi was happy as usual!

The next few days were also filled with visiting, and lots of eating! Before we left the house each day, we took a family photo at home.

On the 7th day, we went to Armenian Street to join in the celebrations there. All these years I have not been so it was quite a fun experience with the kids, even though there was a slight drizzle.



Have a happy and prosperous year ahead everyone!
