Finally the new year came after having my mother in law sew my outfit. This year, all the ladies had to wear purple outfit. It was pretty hard because all the ladies had gone to the same store, for the same fabric. Luckily my mother in law got enough for my front and back skirt and enough for the shirt design. I was thankful my mother in law sew mine, my husband and my son's outfit less than 3 weeks.
I've always wanted to wear Hmong outfit but it was always so cold and my husband never wanted to wear with me. Since this year my in law made him wear it since they were wearing it too, he decided to wear it. I was pretty glad because every couple matched and I didn't want to be the only one standing out. My son loved his best with coins hanging and his money hat. This year had been the most interesting year because my husban and me got interview from the Sheboygan press and we also attend there after party which was pretty good.
After the last day of new which is today, we went to my husband's aunt house for thanksgiving. I decided to bring my cheesecake I made & shepherd pie. When we got to the house, there was 3 long table filled with food, drinks and goodie bags. There was so much people inside too, it was pretty full to sit anywhere to eat. As we formed a line to eat, my husband's aunt gave a speech to thank you those who could make it and for being a dish to share. As we then started to eat, I headed straight for the egg rolls and turkey breast.
I'm not really a turkey person, so I myself only eat the turkey breast. I love the way my sister in law makes her pineapple cherry mix drink, it's not so much liquor but enough to just sip and get full. Then as we talk and share stories, everyone was having a fun time. Finally, after cleaning up and packing some food home, we got home and ready to hit bed early. This year I'm very thankful for having all those who I love stand by my side and share more memories I the future.
It surely did sound like you enjoyed your weekend. Seems like the food must have been good. Though I didn't attend the Hmong New Year, was good that you got your husband to go with you.
ReplyDeleteYour time with everyone sounded so nice. I wish I could have seen everyone's outfits. To be honest, I think turkey is awful, just a disgusting meat.. gimme some KFC instead! Your in law's drink is making me thirsty right now
