Chinese New Year 2009

We have a good Chinese New Year celebration this year. Spending time with Alfred for 10 days was countless moments. On New Year eve, we had our annual family reunion dinner. A family reunion dinner is a must before New Year. It is a family gathering in Chinese tradition. On the first day of Chinese New Year, we are giving out ang pow to children and singles. The red angpow symbolizes good luck. Definitely, Alfred is one of those happy little boy whom received ang pow. Alfred like the red color on the ang pow packet. He even know how to Gong Xi Gong Xi (hand gesture) before he take the ang pow which make his momme so proud. We, eventually spend the whole week of holiday visiting relatives and friends. By default, the time staying at home is so less and Alfred had been getting around too much causing him miss his afternoon nap, his meal schedule all ran out, getting to bed late night and getting up late early in the morning like daddy and mommy. We have already known that he will be a bad boy when he returned to his daily normal routine at grandma house. Chinese New Year finally ends yesterday. It was Chap Goh Mei, also known as Lantern Festival.

Here is the snapshoot of Alfred during CNY.
