Vietnamese friends invited us to their family's Chinese New Year celebration banquet. Bec and their three young ones were also willing to drive into the city suburbs and join us. As usual there was absolutely too much food and it was very tasty and exotic. Piper got the hang of chopsticks. The boys rearranged the garden stones afterward when they were done with banqueting. It was a wonderful day of mixed cultures and shared stories. In the process the kids were recipients of many 'lucky money' envelopes which was pretty fun for them. There was a lot of lucky money moving about between the families there that the economy may not have altered much... except that a lot of money became extra special and in the hands of kids!
