Chinese New Year 2008

The Year of the (Earth) Rat began with the full moon this month. The Chinese New Year celebrations are family times and we had all aboard for the festivities here. Jennifer’s parents and Aunt and Uncle are visiting from Shanghai and my mom arrived by plane from Denver too. During these few days of holiday with family all around we had another event that should be noted as well. Jo Jo our little Brussels Giffon had a birthday too. He is now 2 years old.

Today was really warm here in the San Gabriel Valley with temps upwards into the 80′s. The Chantry Flats road was open so I took my mom and Jennifer’s Aunt and Uncle up to see the Valley from a little elevation. The view was pretty good although we could not see the Pacific from here we were able to see all across the Valley down to Los Angeles.
