Smart girl already knows to smile now for the camera. See that nerf sword Aaron is holding? Lily was parading back and forth with it during dinner, but I could not get a photo. She looked like Mulan swinging that thing and wearing her Chinese silks. Oh yeah, and yes - that IS a nerf gun she is holding. And in the photo above, that is a Pokemon graphic novel she has in her hands. Sigh - she has been schooled by her three older brothers!
We had the Kus over for dinner. Dinner was lots of dumplings (from the frozen section at the local Chinese market - alas, no time for homemade ones). Then we had a worship time with our two families. Here you see the daddies and Matthew and Peter warming up.
Here is what Phil did during the singspiration time.
And for dessert - tang yuan. This is a dessert eaten on the winter solstice in China - a soup with sticky sweet rice balls.
It is the year of the dragon. Happy Chinese New Year!
I do not believe in personality traits and fortunes for the different signs of the Chinese zodiac. However, I was pleased to find out that Lily and I were born 36 years apart - making us both born in the year(s) of the tiger. Also, this gives me even more reason to think of her as "Tiger Lily."
