The year of the little mouse/rat has come to an end and the start of the Lunar New Year begins as the year of the Ox. My little
Mylee is a little mouse. When my mom went back to Vietnam last year she brought back some traditional Vietnamese dresses for
Makayla so she still had some to wear this year too. We had one from
Makayla that she passed on to
Mylee. They looked so cute together in these traditional gowns. The girls both got the good luck red envelopes from family today and over the weekend. This all goes towards their little piggy banks! The New Year landed on a weekday (Monday) so we just celebrated it with our cousins at their house. My Auntie 9 made some traditional dishes for dinner and set up their table with pretty traditional and good luck flowers and plants. After dinner my aunt wanted us to all join her at the
Buddhist Temple. There were magnificent statues all over the temple that was outdoors. It was very nice. We're glad we got to experience this. It's been a long time since I've been to a Temple and boy have they changed. They are so much bigger now and so beautiful! What a fun cultural evening to celebrate the Lunar New Year!
Chuc Mung Nam Moi! (Happy New Year) in Vietnamese.
Makayla even knew how to say this to the family this year! So proud of her and she made her Grandparents very happy!

Mylee too! This outfit from big sis fit her perfectly!
The pretty girls in pink! The flowers in the back is a traditional plum tree with red envelopes hanging all over it. It's a good luck plant.
