Mooncake Party

Last year, my parents and friends sent quite a number of paper lanterns for Sonya for the Mid-Autumn Festival but we didn't get a chance to use them. This year, we thought we invite some of Sonya's friends at Westgate to our house for a mini mooncake party. I went to Super 88 to buy some mooncakes and that funny horn vegetable. I wanted to get the pomelo but apparently it was sold out in just 2 days last week :( I also went to Home Depot and got some bulbs for the lanterns since the children are too young to handle candles.











This is Ryo from Japan. His little brother is just one month old.



All the kids got some "Clifford juice" while the adults had chinese tea.





This is Lea from Poland . Her baby brother is due in November.



The children got bored of the lanterns and started playing with Sonya's toys.





This is Elizabeth and she is just so cute. She speaks really well and is always ready to explore everything.



And this is Michael, from Malaysia, having fun with Sonya's paints and brushes.



The party ended before 9pm since the children had to go bed.

We brought Sonya out with her lantern for a walk in the playground and also to take a photo with the full moon.



We had more mooncakes and tea ourselves.





Justin dropped the horn vegetable into my tea and tried to fish it back out.





It was one of the most enjoyable Mid-Autumn Festival we had for quite a while :)
