Ava's First Vietnamese New Year

My parents' church had thier Vietnamese New Year festivities last weekend. I wanted Ava to experience some of our culture and traditions around this holiday. I even had a little dress for her to wear and she couldn't have been any cuter in it.


She didn't take her eyes off the dragon dancers. She was such a happy baby. She loved all the music, bright colors, and the other kids.
She just really started standing on her own last weekend too. She is so proud of herself that she claps when we set her on her feet. Doesn't she look adorable?

Kiddos usually get red envelopes with money inside for good luck and prosperity. She is holding her first red envelope grandma gave her. She wanted to eat it.

It was a fun night. She was dancing and laughing all night long and was completely exhausted by the end of it. Hopefully this year will be just as awesome as 2010!
