January 1 is the big day for seh-beh! This is the Korean tradition of bowing to your elders and wishing them prosperity, etc. They, in turn, present you with a white envelope containing money! This year, Kate wore the hanbok that Rebekah wore in our wedding. (We had four flower girls--all nieces--who wore these pretty hanboks.) I have been waiting for the time when Kate could fit into this and was so excited for her to wear it. I wish I'd gotten more photos on New Year's Day. Oh well ...
Here we are doing seh-beh to Tanna's parents.
A few days later, when we were back in LA, we went to visit Tanna's aunt and uncle, who live nearby. I will have to post some more photos from that visit--but here are a few photos of seh-beh, which we observed with them when we were there.
I gave someone (my MIL, maybe?) our camera to snap a photo of us doing seh-beh to Tanna's aunt and uncle. This is the photo--LOL!
I think this is Kate doing another seh-beh or a practice or before/after shot? I can't remember exactly. Tanna's aunt and uncle are on the sofa.
I love this! It so remnds me of the Korean Dramas I love to watch when the newlyweds in their hanboks come back after the honeymoon and bow to their parents. Kate looks oh so cute. I can't wait for Chinese New Year to dress the girls p (Feb 14..also Valentines Day)
