I hope you all had a fun-filled New Year. We barely made it to midnight. My middle son fell asleep before dinner and we woke him up at 9 pm to join the festivities, and then the baby and my oldest son fell asleep for the night. I even dozed off for about an hour before the midnight countdown.
Before the whole gang went down for the night, we ate some Vietnamese food. My kids love spring rolls and Boba drinks. The baby had some bun (rice vermicelli noodle salad) with me. It’s traditional for Chinese families to eat long noodles for the new year because it symbolizes a long life.
