Chua

After dinner at my uncle's house, we headed down to a Buddhist temple (or chua in Vietnamese) in Dickinson, which is like 10 minutes south of League City. But first, we dropped off Daddy and Andrew at my folks' house. Andrew is still under the weather and had only one nap today (too stimulated to take another one). So, we thought it best that he go home and get some rest. He proved us right falling asleep in the car after 5 minutes.

At the temple, five of our cousins were performing in a show in celebration of New Years. They did a fantasic job. They are so talented!! We are all so proud of them and their hard work.

Ngoai and Mommy missed the first dragon dance, but Uncle Anh Tuan and Mommy stayed for the second one. Then, Papa and Ngoai stayed to pray while Uncle and Mommy headed home to get Daddy and Andrew. The four of us then drove to our house; and Andrew slept the whole way except for like 5 minutes after he woke up as we put him in the car.

It was a great time; and it was awesome seeing so many family. I don't get a chance to see my cousins as much as I like. So it was really great to see them on such a special occasion.

Here are pictures from chua. I am not wearing an ao dai tonight because Ngoai told me that it was going to be really cold and the show was going to be outside (another reason we didn't think Andrew should go). Little did we know that the temple built a pavilion, which housed the show.
