Happy Lunar New Year!! This year my mom and I took Khai down to Eden Center to welcome the new year. Each year the Vietnamese community host a couple different events. The final one being the first day of the new year and includes several dragons (which Khai really loved), tons of firecrackers, and of course yummy food. This year Khai knew what "Chinese New Year" was and was very excited to go to the festival. The snow storm canceled all other events leading up to it, which was disappointing, but the four hours spent at Eden Center with firecrackers going off the entire time did its part to make up for the loss. Khai also took part in helping Ma Moy pray to our ancestors and Buddha. Extremely cute, he followed along quite well and then as he walked away from the alter he stole a couple bites of rice. We couldn't stop laughing!
