Tyler's Full Month Celebration



Today we held a party for Tyler's Full Month Celebration. It is a tradition in the Chinese culture to celebrate the 1st month of a child's life and also to introduce him/her to friends and families.
With more than 30 people on the guest list, i decided to do the sensible to cater food from Kho's Bistro in Longmont and made some appetizers myself.


Trying to adhere to most of the chinese tradition that i know, MIL and I spent hours dyeing red eggs yesterday and wrapping them up prettily in tulle.


My friend Elaine made me some beautiful "ang ku" just for the event.

Here is a picture of us in front of a cake. Not sure that's traditional though..
We had a great time with everybody who showed up and Tyler got even more presents and red packets from some of the very nice guests. Tyler who was sleeping at the beginning of the party did wake up for a few hours and mingled with the crowd as he was passed from one adoring guest to another.
Thanks to everybody that showed up and brought presents!!!
