X'mas Party, Winter Solstice Festival, Kellys 8th month


Today is an important day, Kelly is 8 months old, Kellys first X'mas, first Dongzhi (The Winter Solstice Festival or The Extreme of Winter (冬至) is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians. Traditionally, the Dongzhi Festival is also a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers is the making and eating of Tangyuan (湯圓) or balls of glutinous rice, which symbolize reunion). We had some of the Uncles, Aunties and babies over for a small x'mas gathering. We prepared great food, log cake, gifts for all babies and tangyuan too. Thank you all aunties and uncles for your x'mas prezzies, kelly loves them.
