The Moon Festival is a tradition that we are trying to keep in our family. It is a great time to think about our family members who live far away as we eat traditional moon cakes under a full moon. OK, I admit, that description sounds a little Munster-like. But seriously, there is a cool story and tradition behind it. We are using it to keep a special place in our lives for Evan's birthparents.
Last year we celebrated with some friends and ate traditional moon cakes. The moon cakes were ... interesting, but not our favorite. This year, we added a redneck twist ... we ate moon pies! (To be honest, the moon pies were not much better!) Evan loved talking about her grandparents and great-grandparents for a while. Evan got really excited when we talked about how Baby Sydney sees the same moon we do. The moon was so full and pretty, but the sky was very cloudy we had to wait a while to catch a glimpse of it.
