The Tans invited several of us to join their family for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, ringing in the Year of the Rooster! There were a lot of people; it was a good thing that Dan brought his big ABS plastic folding table. I think we sort of naturally segregated ourselves into the kids' table, the young adults' table, and the ... not-so-young adults' table. We all had a great time, though, and the food was excellent! Kudos to Nina and Karen for their yummy desserts!
