Celebrating the Year of the Metal Rabbit

This is how we celebrated Chinese New Year!  There is always something to celebrate when it’s Mom!  Though this was Tita Margarita’s idea! It was potluck and each of them brought something to share for dinner.  How nice and fun!

Everyone was game and came in Chinese outfits! Loved Tita Eva’s headpiece 🙂

 And Tita Margarita, the organizer of the dinner, came with a rabbit hanging on her neck.  She is the funniest!

Dad and his two concubines beside him 🙂  And of course my two feng shui mates- Margs and Pam!

    Impressed that prayers were not left out in the midst of the sumptuous celebration of Kung Hei Fatchoy of the Year of the Metal Rabbit! Your Mom’s intricate and detailed knack for accouterments to carry out theme and ambience never ceases to amaze me! Great coverage Rica!
