January

So . .  Because of a computer crash, it has been nearly three month since I have been able to blog.  Also, that fact that I work 40 hours a week, has contributed to this delay in getting my family's photo history updated.
 
New Year's Eve we had the Stowers and Mason fams over to ring in 2014.  The kids gathered on the front porch to throw "pop its" and shout "Happy New Year".


We played some games, ate snacks and the kids piled on Alex until he finally got up and moved to another spot. 

The Ogden/Hof German festival has been a tradition for several years now.  Alex joined us to watch polka dancing and to eat weinerschnitzel, spetzel, kolrabi, and strudel.  Ja.


We celebrated our two January birthdays - Megan and Brigham.


What a joy this one year old has been in our lives.  Love him.




Since Lily is in the Chinese immersion program at her school she was able to participate in the Chinese New Year program at Weber State.  She is doing so well at learning Mandarin, speaking half of each school day with a native Chinese teacher.
 
 
Her class sang some songs in Mandarin at the program there.

The dragons kind of freak me out a little.

Also in January we went to a Jazz game.

Thank you, OC Tanner for providing these tickets.  Glad we didn't have to pay for them.
 
 
It was so fun to sit so close to the action.
