With so many pictures and videos, it has taken me longer than I thought to get them processed and uploaded. Finally, they are all done, and I’m proud to share with you some of the highlights of my Chinese New Year week-long celebration at Grandma and Grandpa’s place in Riverside.
Chinese New Year Day (年初一)
Since we were at my other Grandparents house for dinner last night, we didn’t get home until late. To make things worst, Daddy noticed the tire of our car was running flat, and he was a bit concern if the tire can do another 70 miles trip to Grandma’s house. So the first thing that Daddy did this morning was to brought the car to a Tire shop for check-up. The prognosis of both rear tires were not good, and Daddy decided to get some new tires. Which means that by the time he got home, it was already late in the morning. With packing has yet to be completed, we did not leave the house until 1pm in the afternoon.
(By the way, just in case you are wondering, Daddy took a week off from work to celebrate Chinese New Year with the family.)
After an hour or so driving, we arrived at Grandma’s house, and immediately, she fell in love with my outfit! Seriously, how could you not? Here’s a video of me playing basketball with my Chinese New Year outfit.
What I had almost forgotten, was that I bought a birthday gift for Uncle Chris back in December. And I thought it was a great opportunity to present to him his belated birthday gift, on Chinese New Year day!
Then towards the evening, I got to sit by the Mahjong table for the first time!
Chinese New Year Day 2 (年初二)
I pretty much spent the entire day doing what you see in the video below. Let me tell you, I was so tired by evening that I fell asleep immediately. Grandpa and Grandma’s house was just too big for me to be running around non-stop all day.
Chinese New Year Day 3 (年初三)
Aunt Phoebe arrived today from Hong Kong this morning. Not that I didn’t get enough attention in the past few days, but with Aunt Phoebe around, I’m just going to get even more attention. Otherwise, I pretty much did the exact same things as I did in the past few days… which is playing my toys. However, I was also introduced to a new toy today! It’s the organ. No one has told me that the organ has been sitting there since the day I was born. Had it not for the brilliance thinking of my dear Grandma, who thought that I might be interested in expressing the musical side of me, I would have never gotten the chance to play this fine piece of of music instrument!
Here's a video of me playing my toys while getting everybody’s attention.
Here are some pictures that we took on this Day 3 of Year of Ox…
Chinese New Year Day 4 (年初四)
I’m beginning to get used to living in Riverside by now! There are so much room for me to run around the house that I didn’t even think I was at home. I thought I was at the playground! Today continues to be another day of running around the house, and taking plenty of pictures. By request, I put on the same outfit that I wore on Chinese New Year Day 1, just so that Aunt Phoebe can take a few pictures with me in such outfit. I was told that I brought shines to the outfit, and I made it look even more expensive! For the record, it was my dear Grandma who bought this outfit for me while she was in HKG just a few months ago. Yes, I know I'm good looking. You don’t have to tell me.
Chinese New Year Day 5 (年初五)
It’s time to go home! We woke up and after breakfast, Mommy and Daddy started to pack. We arrived home by mid-afternoon, and things slowly returned to normal. It’s been a fun and exciting week. Once again, Happy Chinese New Year to you all!
