More Gong Xi Fatt Choy Photos

Last night we went to a friend's house for Penang noodle on Chinese New Year Eve. Meredith received her first Ang Pow last night. His house is very far from our house, it took us almost one and half hour to get there. But getting her first Ang Pow was well worth the trip.

It is Sunday afternoon currently or the first day of Chinese New Year. We were frantically preparing for Meredith's one year old birthday party tonight. There's about 30 people coming tonight and we haven't prepare that much food in a long time. I have been cooking on the grill since 1pm today. Meredith stood by the door and observed me curiously as I grilled the ribs. She hasn't changed from her chinese new year cheong sam since last night.

Anyway, we finally bath her and change her into her birthday dress. Here she is again walking around trying to supervise us as we prepare for her party tonight.

Meredith clapping her hands

Meredith has picked up a few tricks in the recent months. She will kiss you on the cheek if you tell her "xiek xiek" which is kiss kiss in cantonese. She will also clap her hands when she hears people singing or a tune that she likes on TV. I caught this on a video clip a few weeks ago when our church group had a gathering at our house. She started clapping her hands as we sang. This is in the middle of the video clip.
