Chuc Mung Nam Moi!

Happy New Year! Today is Tet, the Vietnamese New Year. We will celebrate with other families and their Vietnamese children next weekend in Chicago. Today Tommy and I shared a book, "Ten Mice for Tet," with his play class and they all loved the colorful pictures. We also gave out candy wrapped in red foil - not quite the same as giving gifts in red envelopes, but close.
We've been covered in snow for the past week. Last Friday was a snow day for all of us and Tommy loved it! He walked from our house to the neighbor's house after Doug plowed the driveway and sidewalk - he was in heaven.
Stay warm!


Tommy and Doug outside in the snow - not sure why he insists on wearing those red gloves??

Walking down the freshly plowed sidewalk

Tommy loved walking around outside - and did pretty well even without boots.

Watching Doug outside and laughing

he really wasn't upside down, it's just the picture......
