Happy Chinese New Year: Gong Xi Fa Cai


We went to our first Chinese New Year dinner at a friend's house last night. 
 One of Justin's co-workers invited us over and a 2 other co-workers came too.  CNY is a long celebration and is celebrated with many gatherings of friends and family.  Fireworks are set off A LOT!!!!

Chinese New Year celebrations, also known as the Spring Festival, in China start on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month of the Chinese calendar. The festival lasts for about 23 days, ending on the 15th day of the first lunar month in the following year in the Chinese calendar.


The girls really liked the red envelopes of money!
 Hannh found she really liked duck, and I could have eaten the noodles all night long!




 With Dr. Wong's family. 
 His son is an '09 Iowa State Animal Science grad…..You can find Cyclones everywhere!!!!!
 After dinner, the girls joined in on a game:
Life is Good with dinner with friends.
