Chuc Mung Nam Moi




Sorry, I don't have the correct accents on my Happy New Year post.
Today we celebrated Tet, the Vietnamese New Year. It is the year of the Tiger.
We got to see a dragon dance and feed him lucky money for good luck through out the year. We had delicious food and had some fun. Michael also got to wear his new outfit- an Ao Dai- do not ask me to pronounce it unless you like hearing Vietnamese mangled beyond recognition. Michael had a blast beating a drum, running around and playing in a toy room set up for younger children.
After our party we came home. No nap today. I had to put the outfit in water to soak out stains. Why anyone thinks white pants on a young child is a good idea is beyond my comprehension.
We played outside for an hour. The mailman gave us our neighbor's mail which I put back in my neighbor's mailbox. Heaven only knows who got our mail. I wonder if the mailman comes in shelves fiction and genre at Roseville also....
Last night I was able to reserve our hotel for our WDW trip in Dec. Yes, it's early, but I got a great discount by booking this early and was able to get our first choice of resort. Thanks to all those who gave me input, especially Emily & Lynn. We will book our tickets and airline later. I think I might be able to get the tickets at MOA's Disney store from what the guidebook says, or I can always get them elsewhere.
