Lunar New Year Gatherings

恭喜发财 everyone!

It's our once a year family portrait time. :P Better still, a in-law family portrait. My younger brother-in-law came back from his overseas job and my elder brother-in-law and his family returned back to Singapore from his overseas posting. Finally, everyone is present for Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner after so many years.

This made me think when we will be able to take a complete family portrait with my parents with my brother no longer on talking terms with the family. Haiz. We have not seen my brother for years and my parents only get to see their grandchildren once a year. *shake head*

On a happier note, everyone was happy to see my younger brother-in-law whom have not return home for 1 year? There were lots of food (not by me - Thank God!) and the happiest of all were the kids. No, not the ang pows. They were so happy playing together, turning my younger brother-in-law's room into a camp site, fun fair, playground, etc.

妹妹 refused to let her 姐姐 (cousin) go home and kept asking for her when we reached home.

They came over to our place on Thursday for another gathering, before my younger brother-in-law return back to work and again the kids had fun playing together again. This time, 妹妹 cried non-stop when 姐姐 had to go home. She even cried in her sleep. :P

I'm glad the kids can get well together even though they hardly meet. Bet they can't wait for the next family gathering.
