Kung Hei Fat Choi!!!

Or, as they say in English, HAPPY (CHINESE) NEW YEAR!!!

Spent the day at Ayala where we "celebrated" by eating tikoy --- some sticky concoction that is fried. Chewy when being eaten.

Just putting up my SCRAPS kind of day today:

{SCRAPS OF MAMA}

SWEET GIRLS
Journaling reads: It is a Mama’s fervent hope that the love and sweetness beaming out of this picture become a reality. At the tender ages of 8 and 6, you both are constantly fighting, most of the time not seeing eye to eye. With the passage of time, it is hoped, your relationship will get better and you will be closer; to be true sisters because you WANT to be.

POLKA DOTS & THE COLOR RED
Journaling reads: For the New Year, it has been our tradition to get dressed in polka dots for good luck. We get even more luck when we wear red. The best combination? Polka dots on a red shirt or dress. According to the Chinese, red is always a lucky color, and wearing it to greet the New Year will bring good things to the wearer in the coming year. Polka dots, because they look like coins, signify prosperity for the coming year.

THE MEANING OF POLKA DOTS
Journaling reads: An age-old tradition that our family does for New Year’s Eve is to wear POLKA DOTS. Polka dots represent prosperity, i.e., it is the shape of coins. We want to ensure that we greet the coming of the New Year with “money” on our person. Mama had the boys’ shirts made to match, the better to scrap with. New Year’s Eve this year was spent at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, where we viewed fireworks from our hotel room.
