Autumn Moon Festival

This is one of my favorite Chinese holidays. We celebrate with our FCC family and its basically a day celebrating family for everyone.


Emmy's decorated lantern for the Lantern Parade






One of our Moon Festival traditions is write notes to our children's family in China, their birth families and the family of people who cared for them. We attach to red balloons and then release them. This year Emmy was old enough to start understanding the concept so I let her dictate her letter after explaining what we were doing. She asked that it say "I know I love you in my heart."

We also did a balloon for Aidan's birth family and his foster family.
