A New Tradition!

This year, like last year, we started off our New Year's Eve Celebrations by making mandoo! Mandoo are Korean dumplings and are oh so yummy!!
The boys are more into Legos this year than last!
Mark getting into the folding and sealing! Auntie Michelle had the filling all ready to go, so all we had to do was fill and seal!
Uncle Chong being silly with the wrappers
Auntie Michelle showing off the plate of Mandoo that Uncle Chong and Daddy made
The plate of Mandoo I made! I am pretty proud of myself!
Out of the three containers of wrappers we had, only 5 were left and Uncle Chong was trying to convince Kayla that they should be filled with nuts and dried fruit, but she was not having any of it!
Auntie Michelle made a dinner for the kids, chicken dinosaurs and pasta. Lon ate all his dinos.
The adults has soup with rice coins, and mandoo. Michelle made the broth this year. It was so good, but those rice coins are super filling!  She also made us some wonderful spinach with soy sauce and sesame seeds. I need to find that recipe!
I brought dessert. A small black forest type cake.  Homemade cherry sauce and a sturdy whipped cream!
We watched the kiddos play with the new hot wheels track. It was loud and fun!  Cars running into each other, going loop de loops!
Kayla hugging Lon good bye. She was not so sure she wanted Lon to leave!
It was a fun night of good food and good friends!
