Gong Xi Fa Cai! Year of the Rabbit

Our New Year celebrations started off this year with a gig in Nanaimo at a Chinese New Year /Robbie Burns Celebration.  Gong Haggis Fat Choy!  Harp and guitar.  Dawn-Marie even sang a song in Mandarin.  Rosa came up on stage and played the finger cymbals for that particular song.  Afterwards, we zoomed to Duncan to have dinner and enjoy festivities with our FCC gang.



That was a fun party!

Hong Bao, red envelopes of "lucky money" and treats are lots of fun! Rosa had 16 envelopes this year!  We sit together and enjoy the end of the evening's festivities as Rosa opens her envelopes.


Thursday, February 3rd was New Year's Eve.  Grandma Dolly came over and we all headed down to Ding Ho's in Chemainus for a special New Year's buffet.  Penny and the girls, Hannah and Hailey joined us.

Lion Dancers in Victoria February 7th.  We met friends for Dim Sum at one of our favourite Chinese restaurants in Victoria, Don Mees.  Afterwards, we enjoyed the dragon and lions dancing up and down the streets of Chinatown.  Every business hangs some lettuce and hong bao envelopes for the lions to dance and gather.  This will bring each business good luck for the coming year.
