christmas 2009

We did Christmas at our house..as with most years on Christmas eve. We had the whole family..Grandpa and Grandma, Viet's family (Viet, Thi, Ngoc Han, Tuan), Uncle Dung and Uncle Nam. Our dinner this year was a Lau..lots of meat, seafood, and vegetables dipped and cooked in a boiling broth in the middle of the table. Of course part of the meat included turkey :>)

Then after dinner we open all the presents. I know the tradition is suppose to be open presents early Christmas morning. We figure this way, we have everybody at one time and they can sleeep in the next morning.

I had a late start this year. Didn't get the tree up until the night before Christmas eve..was lazy and fearing what Peter would do the tree!!! I put the tree up after the kids went to sleep..stayed up until the wee hours to finish :>0
Took some pictures of Kara and Peter with the tree Christmas Eve morning.

Beautiful Kara Mai. Loves to pose for the camera.


Kara with her little bird.


Peter Vinh, what's goin on?


Classic case of Peter Vinh..charge!!!


Tried to get pictures of all the kids at once..not so easy, but I did prevail..sort of. These are the kids before opening the presents.

Everybody, say cheese!!! Kara Mai with cousins.


Got Vinh to stay put for a picture...had to take picture real fast.
