Chinese New year Block Party

This is our block party we started off with a Posperity salad. 

This the prosperity Salad which is a Singaporean tradition. It is mostly shredded vegetables with some crackers and sometimes some meat (salmon was in the one I actually ate). I  really like the one I tried somewhere else.

You all toss it and the higher it is tossed the better luck you have.  We didn't get to eat this salad since most of it ended up on the ground.

We went in together to pay for a lion dance for the party. Ours costs around $500. Our neighbor I posted earlier had 2 lion dances and a dragon dance so they really wanted to have good luck.  Hayden is in the back in the blue shirt and red shorts.  The plate has oranges and lettuce for the lion.
