Chinese New Year

Happy New Year!!! Happy Chinese New Year that is :) Let me explain- Chinese New Year is something I did not grow up celebrating :) However, my hubby who is 100% Caucasian by blood is 99% Vietnamese by heart :) His best friend today has been his best friend since the 4th grade and he is Vietnamese :) However, I don't know if it was because he spent so much time at there house or if it is just a love of the food but Bryan has become more Vietnamese than his best friend! he he... So we were really excited to be invited to Johns ( Bryan's best friend :) ) parents house for the celebration. Johns family have always welcomed us...his parents call him there other son, they soooooooo love Evan! They had 3 children of there own but have no grandchildren. I feel very blessed to have them in our lives. We don't see them too often but when we do they are always so kind and wonderful!

Here is my hansom little devil :)

Holding up his new camera! He is officially obsessed with taking pictures and in fear that mine would get broken we got him one of his own :)
