It's the Chinese New Year of the Snake. Xin Nian Kuai Le, Wan Shi Ru Yi! Maya sings a Chinese new year song to waigong, waipo, dajiu and xiaojiu on the phone. Luca doesn't know how to sing yet but he hums along.
We watch the dragon and lion dance at the San Jose Museum of Art in the morning. Maya meets her school friends Ethan B and Clemence there and they have tons of fun. Luca enjoys the show too.
We have some friends over for dinner. It's really good to see Pey-Ning and Venkat as we haven't seem them for almost two years. Maya loves playing with Kun and Afonso's two kids: Samuel and Mecham. Dinner is a feast, with fish, chicken, ribs, nian ago, and many other dishes. Fish and nian gao are a must for the Chinese New Year as they symbolize prosperity.
The only downside of having a big party is cleaning before and after. :)
