Made peanut cookies as usual with JE's help.
Right you guys are all done. Later you go into jars.
Munchies, check
Hubby planned reunion dinner and did everything again this year hehe. With the maid's help of course. Well he does gets overly 'kancheong'/anxious about everything so I'd rather stay out of his way anyway.
Ready to loh sang
Steamboat
Mini steamboat at the kids' table
Food was pretty good. Especially with hubby pouring a ton of Chinese wine into the soup, the way he likes it.
Kids looked forward more to the fireworks than food. What better way for safety than...
Let's fire up this sparkler
This is the way hubby's family plays with this type of fireworks. Gave me a turn the first time I saw it.... in my family we always put these into a bottle on the floor, and run away quick after lighting the fuse.
Shoot this into the sky
JE tired of her mask after some time haha.
1,2,3,4 kids
Happy new year everyone! May this year bring prosperity and good health!
Happy cny to you and your family! May all of you be blessed with good health, good fortune and a good life! SE still kept her goggles on to protect her eyes, very good. I think it is quite dangerous to hold the shooting atar fireworks in the hands.
ReplyDeleteJE was the one with the snorkel and mask! She liked it at first as she couldn't smell the smoke from the fireworks.
DeleteYeah what if the shooting star explodes. And kids are easily distracted, may end up pointing at people.
Been years since I baked any cookies. No more kids to eat the cookies. So nice your hubby took care of preparing food for the whole family. I think steamboat is still the best and easiest way, less work and sweating over the stove. It is safer to place fireworks in the bottle instead of holding.
ReplyDeleteSteamboat also ensures hot food while cooked dishes would get cold. Some more hubby's family is especially fussy over food that isn't piping hot.
DeleteI'd rather they not hold fireworks but everyone does this.
