Happy Chinese New Year!

You know you're lucky when you have family that celebrates Chinese New Year with an awesome party, even though none of you are actually Chinese. Sam and Ashley hosted a wonderful party, complete with good food (thanks, everyone!), good decorations (thanks Abby and Ashley!) and awesome games (thanks Abby!)

We watched Kung Fu Panda 2, ate food, laughed at silly fortunes, had a puzzle contest, made pipe cleaner dragons, had a coloring competition, and more.

Amulek sure enjoyed playing with his cousin Amelia. They pulled each others hair, sat on one another, and Amulek tried to do a lot of biting. What am I going to do with that kid?

Sorry for the poor lighting!
The amazing fish Ashley made that hung from the ceiling. One fish had a dragon inside and whomever got the dragon got a prize!

My pipe cleaner dragon. He was more of a sea serpent...but Amulek enjoyed eating him later.

"What?! We're not up to anything!"
