After picking up Henry on Saturday we dropped by Blake's house for his third birthday party. It was a lot of fun. Henry really enjoyed the cake (and he ate most of the icing off my piece too) and he had a good time playing with his friend.
We also ate out at La Madeleine--Henry's first introduction to faux-French food. He threw the croissant on the floor but liked the chips.
On Sunday afternoon we drove into Dallas to meet up with friends to attend the Tet celebration at the Vietnamese market in Carrollton. It was a beautiful day. I tried to get Henry to sit on my shoulders--he didn't quite make it yet, but did get halfway and helped carry his weight by putting his arm around my neck.
The dragon dance--a young man and woman did the ceremonial chasing away of bad spirits.
They had stools and a bench as part of the dance--jumping up and then the woman got on the man's shoulders. Henry watched, though he was frequently distracted when somebody let one of their balloons go and it flew into the sky.
Then we all went out to a Chinese restaurant and enjoyed dim sum and other food. It was really a fun day and a continuation of our Tet celebration.
