More Chinese New Year Celebrations

The Saturday after Chinese New Year we headed into the city with Calvin to have lunch with Phil's extended family. We headed to the Overseas Taste Maylasian restaurant. I discovered that apparently restaurants in Chinatown will give your baby a red envelope on Chinese New Year.

To say that Calvin was feeling overwhelmed is a bit of an understatement...He was not a happy camper. But the adults still found him amusing, at least Phil's mom and his Aunt Chan seemed to.

Somewhere between chatting and Calvin duty there was food.

After lunch we headed back to Lucia's apartment and stopped to take a picture of a giant snowman left over from the past few snow storms. I think people have been slowly reshaping him into something different each time as the snow keeps melting.

Once we got to Lucia's apartment Calvin was happy as a clam.


Probably from the smell of chocolate...Lucia had bought some cake mix and was making chocolate donuts with her handy donut maker.

Calvin even tried his hand at a little game of angry birds on the iPad.

And then he got some kung fu practice in on Kevin's face, with the assistance of Lucia. I love that everyone is so animated in this picture except for Calvin...


For dinner it was off to Phil's parents' house for another round of traditional Chinese dishes.
