Tsagaan Sar Celebration

This year we decided to invite all our friends who live on the island: Mongolians and Mongolians-want-to be-s to come and celebrate with us the Mongolian New Year: Цагаан Сар. So, we gathered together on Saturday for the new year party!

We got the cabana / pool area of our apartment complex rented - my hubby had to clean all morning to make the place somewhat presentable. A lot of cleaning, picking, scrubbing, wiping and moving around.

Since he was tired, justifiably so, Chris Greywolf (we call him Саарал Чоно) volunteered to pitch in in the efforts of grilling.

Missionaries made it in time to talk and eat and enjoy the celebration with us.

Just hope they didn't have tummy aches. :-)

Odnoo with Khongoroo.

Who knew Khuslen has a talent of climbing. He should get a job at PCC - Samoan Village, huh?

Khongoroo is giving her parents direction to Costco!

Becar family: Uranbileg, Khuslen, Khulan and Aaron.

Auntie Davaa is giving Khongoroo too much sugar! She is going to be hyper like the auntie!

Sar shiniin mend khurgie!

Hi Angela, Thank you. But, you wouldn't have known if you were. :) It was just in the 70s and windy. So, some were actually "cold" - yeah wonder what will happen if they go to Mongolia now!!!
