Happy Chinese New Year

Today in school we learned about the tradition of the Chinese New Year.   2014 is the year of the horse.   We had a little chart to look and see what animal each of us was.   Ben was born in the year of the rat, Hunter in the year of the dog, Katie in the year of the sheep, and Bob and Deb are both in the year of the ox.  We ended the day with homemade egg rolls to celebrate the occasion.

It had been a rainy day in St. George, but as we were eating, we looked out the window and you can see what we saw.   We figured it was a sign of good luck!

 We ended Friday with a movie and popcorn night.   We were all excited because our chosen movie was Return of the Jedi.  Hunter has gotten everyone into Star Wars mode.   Their family had already watched the first two movies and so this was perfect timing.   We loved the movie-all except for that slobbery, old, Jabba the Hut!  Of course, the Ewoks were the favorites!

We plan to have a relaxing weekend.   We will just enjoy some quiet times, and see what the days bring.   We do plan to have our own Super Bowl party with pizza.
