New Year's Festivities

Our family spent New Year's in Chicago with family and stayed at uncle Ken & aunt Lydia's new beautiful home. Here are some cute pics that were taken during our stay...

There is a Korean tradition every New Year's Day, where the children bow to the elders in the family and wish them good health and blessings. The "perk" for the children is that money is passed out to each of them after the blessing is received from the parents and/or grandparents. I know, as a kid, I always enjoyed New Year's Day as much as Christmas :)
Here is a videoclip of this New Year's Korean tradition...
Happy New Year's!!!
