Jeanie Mai Jenkins posted this sweet pic of baby Monaco's first Lunar New Year, while also acknowledging how bittersweet this year's celebration was.
"It's surreal that I spent this weekend celebrating one of the most significant times of the year for my Vietnamese American heritage. From dressing Monaco for her first Lunar New Year to attending my dear friend @therealphilliplim gathering, we honored our cultures in the midst of such horrific violence of not one, but two mass shootings in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay," the television host wrote.
"I am gutted for the families who's lives are forever changed. This Year of the Rabbit symbolizes peace, prosperity, and longevity. This is everything we work and fight for in the face of such inhumanity."
