Happy New Year....EAT EAT!!

So here are a few pics from our first Chinese New Year party in DK. Not sure why we have not done it before but i'm sure we will do it again!

We started to prep stuff the night before and got started early the next day. Here's Fee demonstrating how to fold a Won-ton.

Our French friend FX came over a little early to help and

pick up some Chinese cooking tips.

This plate was FULL by the end....and so were two more plates with various dumplings. Mmmmmmmm.

Spring-Roll manufacturing in full swing.

Santi and his mom Patti enjoying some candy.

We needed Patti there as she is actually Chinese!

Little Ella is a little suspicious of me and always keeps an eye on me.

Amelie however is more than happy to hang out with me as long as I have fruit

and toys that light up.

There they are.....just look at them eating all MY food!

Fee and Adrian became the best of friends.

Silence....

Phew!

We had a big group of friends over to celebrate the fact it was Chinese new year and we are now enjoying the silence. Most of our friends now have kids so the place was a buzz of activity, drool, playing and crying.

I'll do a full post in the week because me and Fee whipped up some super tasty home made Chinese food but I just don't have the energy now.... sorry.

We did however find some time to race babies:

"Go baby Go!"

Steam boat...

I tottaly forgot to post pics of the 'steam boat' we had at my in-laws place on Boxing day. Basically you have a big pot of hot soup and you add dumplings, cold cuts, veg and fish balls. It's super tasty and a fun way to eat, I stuffed my face.

That was only a faction of the food we ate.

Very 'proper' family photo, just look how excited my father in-law is on the far left.

This is the other half of the family photo.... spot the odd one out!
