January 29th Chinese New Year Celebration

This year we celebrated again with the Space Coast Chinese American Association (SCCAA) at the Eau Gallie Civic Center where they had a lot of entertainment, including the Lion Dance and a famous Peking Opera performance.  Wai-gong and Wai-po were able to join us as they just got back from New York City.  Each of the kids got Hong bao (red envelopes with $1) and Lanterns.  There was great food and it was really fun.  The girls had a ball watching all the demonstrations and performances.  Their favorite was when they called out the numbers for door prizes.  We did not win a door prize, but my parents won an interesting art piece from a drawing (let's just say it is good luck for fertility this year).  We also ran into some current and old co-workers that we sat with and had great conversation with.
