Happy Chinese New Year, 2011

I think we have seriously eaten enough Chinese food in the past 4 days to last us a good long while. We started celebrating CNY on Feb. 3, the actual first day. We went to eat "yuppy" Chinese food at the wonderful Mama Fu's. While there, we were so excited to see Mrs. "N", Spicy Girl's kindergarten teacher. We spent the next few days visiting other Chinese restaurants, but nothing beats our favorite...the real deal.... The Noodle House in Chinatown. No sooner did we get seated, that the fireworks all started going off and the lion dance began. The lions made their start in our restaurant. What an appetizer!!

This one got close enough to pinch S.G.... and he did!

Right outside of our restaurant, we had a fire breathing dragon!

And what do you know??? Some school friends!

Happy Chinese New Year!!
