(home-made macs with meat sauce and fried meatballs per Francesca's request...now doesn't that look so good!)





Celebrating Chinese New Year 2008 at Grandma's house on Sunday!





Having so much fun!

Francesca is Grandma's Offical Taste Test Chef...Here she is trying out the pasta to make sure it is cooked enough.

Francesca eating one of her favorite meals!

After eating the macs, it is off to the cake (and of course, everyone had to sing "Happy Chinese New Year" while Francesca got ready to blow out the candles)


Photobucket





Francesca received a few red envelopes and a present from Grandma and G.G. which she is opening up here...

She got this beautiful Chinese deco handbag with matching wallet that looks like a Chinese Take Out container. I have seen other take out container purses in the past, but the one my mom got for Francesca is just breath-takingly beautiful.

(kind of hard to tell the detail work within the purse seeing how Francesca is holding it sideways)








We truly had a great CNY!
