On Saturday, we attended the Asian Children's Mentor Program's Moon Festival celebration. This celebration is always scheduled near the Fall solstice in celebration of the coming season. We always enjoy this event. When I first arrived, my sweet mentor Ji In had a beautiful pair of earrings she made me! I'm showing them off here. They are clip-ons since my ears are not pierced yet. Mama and Baba are allowing me to make the decision when to pierce mine, and I'm not ready yet.
Here I am posing with Daddy.
And now with Mama.
Here I am with my friends Grace and Nichole.
Then, we spent some time with our mentors making crafts. I'm not sure yet what we are making, but these are the sheets of paper we'll use.
Ji In is helping me cut the paper.
I'm doing really well with the scissors!
Now, Ji In is painting flowers and a butterfly on my arm.
I have a pretty blue flower now!
Here is our whole group - the mentors, parents and the kids!
This young man is about to play a Vietnamese string instrument.
The music was just beautiful!
The 2009 Moon Festival was a LOT of fun. Be sure to check back later for pictures from our upcoming Gotcha Day celebration. It will be our 3-year anniversary of the day we became a forever family.
