Today is the Chinese New Year. Congratulations! you didn't get eaten by the Tiger. Todd wanted to celebrate the New Year, so yesterday we brought up the decorations from last year and put them up. Aren't they cute with the Christmas 
lights that are still up? Katelyn, Addison and Hailey helped me decorate inside the house. Then Todd and David fixed us a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. I enjoyed my first Chinese Hot Pot. This is where you have hot broth and spices boiling and you dip meats and veggies in to cook them and eat them with rice and dipping sauces. Then at the end you have a pot of soup to enjoy. It was fun. The only thing I didn't like was the HOT mustard sauce. My folks and Brett and Kyle and their families came to enjoy it with us.
After dinner we set off new year fireworks - probably made in China. Brett and Todd lit them out in the snow while the kids and grandfolks watched through the window. It was lots of fun. All the kids seemed to enjoy themselves, though Kyle had to bring some Orange Chicken so that there was something his kids 
(and himself)would eat.
Looks like a really fun time.
