Celebrating - Year of the Rat


Starting Feb. 7th, we started the celebration of the Chinese/Vietnamese Lunar New Year, a celebration that goes on for 4 days. We went to a special family reunion with Linda's side of the family on Saturday, Feb. 9th in Orange County. The reunion has become especially enjoyable as there are 13+ littlest cousins all under the age of 5. It's even more special when you catch them all dressed up in a traditional Vietnamese outfit in celebration of the New Year.

This year, we brought our Safari bouncer (we've gotten our money's worth from that thing) to the party and of course it was quite a hit with the kids. Most of the cousins are in the southern California area, but some traveled from as far as Wisconsin. It was a great time visiting with family (close to 50 total counting the kids) and we were especially proud of Leyton as he was able to correctly and clearly speak in Vietnamese when saying "Happy New Year" (Chuc Mung Nam Moi) and "Thank You" (Cam On???).

Enjoy the photos! Chuc Mung Nam Moi!
