In China the Mid-Autumn Festival, for centuries has marked the end of harvest and the time in the lunar calendar when the moon is at its brightest.
It is a time for family reunions, for moon-gazing and especially for moon cakes, the round pastries traditionally filled with red bean or lotus seed paste and often containing an egg yolk to represent the moon.

It was a beautiful night for moon gazing! Clarence did a beautiful job putting up the lanterns and lights, he even put up a red thread going towards the moon. Guess we know who is the creative one in this family!!!*LOL* XZ ate almost an entire moon cake, she LOVES them!
She also made a very special wish on the moon for baby M!!
We have had some beautiful moons lately. That's one thing I love about Texas is the sunsets and night sky! And moon cakes sound so good right now!
happy belated moon festival!
