1 Month Blessing Ceremony

Last weekend we held Abigail's 1 month Blessing Ceremony (Hu plig).  Boy, it was a lot of work.  These Hmong family ceremonies are always a lot of work. But, it is a part of our culture and our religion so I can't escape it. 

Our little family.  Poor Zachary was so exhausted because he woke up early with me.  He played all morning and fell asleep during the actual ceremony.  Abby is reaching out for the strings. So cute.

 Typical Hmong food: egg rolls, ginger pork, boiled pork with veggies, rice and spicy/sour fungus salad. yummy!
