The Year of the Ox

As the 2008 Chinese Lunar Calendar is coming to a close and we begin the year of the Ox, I have a lot to be thankful for. Each year we have our closest friends over for a feast made homemade eggrolls, fried rice and red envelopes. It is a time to reflect on the previous year and look forward to what lies ahead. I am not quite sure that an American drinking game is part of the New Year, but who said we can't have traditions of our own. What is a party without a little alcohol, even if it was on a Sunday night. This is one of my favorite get togethers each year. The list continues to grow as each of our families are growing. Happy New Year, can't wait to see what the Year of the Ox will bring for my family and friends.

This picture is of Chance 21 months and Emerson 6 months. I think they are the exact same size even though their is a 15 month difference in age...... Aren't they precious!!!!!
