Fullmoon Party!

According to the Chinese customs, once the child reaches his first fullmoon, he makes his debut to close friends and relatives. Prior to his first fullmoon, he is supposed to be confined in his home together with his mother. Interesting aside, why fullmoon? I believe it is because Chinese has always used the lunar calendar and hence, the first fullmoon is akin to the first month of his life.

In anycase, here are some pictures of Da-Yong's fullmoon party with approximately 50 guests celebrating this wonderful event with us. Many thanks to everyone for attending and making this celebration a success!


Let the party begin!
