I celebrated with my friend Lane Tam.
My mom and her mom grew up together. I can't remember NOT knowing Lane. She and her family have always been generous about sharing their traditions with me. Mrs. Tam taught me how to eat with chopsticks when I was in kindergarten.
To celebrate the Chinese New Year, we had delicious noodle soup!
It was a bright sunny day, perfect for a festive meal.
You might not know this about me, but noodles and pasta are my favorite things to eat. I grabbed my chopsticks and enjoyed every single slurp!
After we finished our meal, we got a special treat. A red envelope!
The red envelopes are a Chinese New Year tradition. The color symbolizes good luck, and each envelops contains a gift of cash or coins. Lane and I are already planning a trip to American Girl Place to buy a little something!
Do you celebrate the Lunar New Year? I wish you all the best, this year and always!
Love,
Vivienne
