Happy Tsagaan Sar!

This week we traveled to Ulaan Baatar to celebrate the Mongolian Lunar New Year, or "Tsagaan Sar" (it means "white moon" or "white month")as it's called here. We had a good time filled with love, food and well, more food! We spent a night at Hetee's parents and fellowshipped with them and Hetee's brother and his wife and two beautiful babies. The the next day we headed over to Hetee's Grandma's house. Hetee is her oldest grandchild and she cried when we walked in. She was so happy to see us and the kids and it touched us, too, to see her so moved. She's is such a sweet lady!

I'd like to add more pics but Hetee keeps asking me if I'm done (I'm letting out a long Napoleon Dynamite like sigh...) So, more later!
