Lunar Baby Celebration

It is a custom in China to celebrate the one month birthday of a newborn baby.

You can read about this tradition HERE.

One of the managers at the company has a newborn son. The ENTIRE company was invited to the celebration. It was amazing to see all the employees included from the heads of departments, administrative assistants, cafeteria staff and janitors.

About half of the people at the party

We went to a local restaurant where there was an entire room set up for us. We sat around these large circular tables. The middle circle rotates and you just spin it around to what you want and serve yourself. Everyone added money into a red envelope for the host.

During the meal I noticed two of the female employees at our table looking at us and giggling. They told me that Stephen is much happier and relaxed now that I'm here. They said they could see how much we love each other.  So sweet.

We even had goodie bags to take home. They were full of cookies (plain little butter cookies) and chocolate (tiny little Hershey bars).

Afterward we went back to the new Father's house and met his wife, newborn son and 2 year old daughter. It was fun to be included!
