Celebrating the Year of the Sheep

Or the Ram.  Or the Goat.  Or whatever horned animal you prefer.  We're going with sheep since we happen to have a cute little fluffy sheep in our house:

OK, we don't really have a sheep in our house.  Or in our yard, for that matter.  But we happen to have a sheep costume that Frannie was more than happy to wear, so Year of the Sheep it is for the Linguine house.

We'll celebrate the new year like many families do.  I gave Rosie a fresh bang cut.  We'll clean the house to sweep out the old year.  We'll decorate, eat traditional foods, and just spend time together as a family.  And we'll wish for good health, happiness, and good fortune.  Although I can't imagine being any luckier than I already am.

(And, a few outtakes for the people who always say that my kids are photogenic and cooperative.  THEY ARE NOT.)
