Yesterday was Korean Day. Since we are soon going to be a multicultural family with a beautiful Korean daughter, we decided to start some Korean traditions now. Ty brought a few things home for us from his trip to Korea last week. He got us a really nice set of chopsticks with Korean writing in them and a beautiful tea steeper. His friend's wife in Korea is making us each a traditional article of Korean clothing so we are excited to get those. I made sticky rice (it really is different than the minute rice we eat) and it take 30 minutes to make. I also made some Korean barbecue beef and veggies. We made a small table to place in the living room, all of the books about Korean tradition say people eat at short tables and sit on the floor. Ty informed me that anytime he has been in a Korean home for a meal they eat at at dinning room table like we do. What fun would that be, so we ate in the floor with or beautiful new chopsticks. Our boys have never eaten with chopsticks so it was very fun for them to experiment. Ty took a couple of photos he had from Korea and blew them up and taped them up so we could look at the "view" while we ate. I thought it was a great idea. We ended the meal with tea, how cute are the boys with those tiny tea cups?? After that we read a couple books about Korea and checked out Carter's awesome globe to get more information. We also tried Korean wrestling, very funny!!
It was a very fun event, the only thing missing was our little girl! We have decided to try and do different cultural events at home every once in a while so next with be Spanish night (thought I would start easy).
