Aerial view of the mayhem.  We have name cards for everyone's presents.  The ones in the middle are the kids'.  We let them open at 7p.m. before our dinner.

Mommy and Ai-Vy:

Presents time!!  I had each kid on each of my lap and my aunt has to help Ky-An to open his since Hieu is busy with camera and camcorder.

Oops, Ky-An missed one present.  He's trying out his new shoes my cousin got him:

Our family tradition has always been opening presents one at a time so everyone can enjoy to see what you get and see your reaction to their present.  Picking out a thoughtful present takes a lot of effort and we want everyone to be able to see the fruit of their labor and to be thanked properly.  We will eventually do this for the kids but I think it's too mean right now to make them sit and wait for their turn.  We always go from youngest to oldest.  It does take a long time but it's fun being able to see what others receive and how they like the present  you picked out for them.

Hieu got a shield for his photography and Ky-An had fun helping dad with his presents:
