Happy New Year!!!

The end of last week was pretty mellow, because Alanna caught a nasty cold. She was pretty congested Wednesday through Saturday. We spent a lot of time indoors, trying to get her to rest, ha ha. Unfortunately we had to miss the annual Samuel Family holiday party at Bob and Peg's on Saturday.

We were finally able to go out and play again on Sunday. We went to Santana Row, where Alanna had fun throwing pennies in the fountain and running around. In the afternoon, Bryan and Carol came down for dinner. They brought delicious Indian food with them. We really had a great time eating and chatting together.

On Monday morning, Justin and I went to my ultrasound and doctor's appointment. I am happy to report that everything looks good. We found out that Baby Magers #2 is going to be a boy! It's pretty cool that we are going to experience raising one of each. I think Alanna will enjoy having a little bro. We're starting to think about names, but will wait until the big day to share it. Here's a picture of the little guy:


After the appointment, we went out for dim sum with Mom and Dad in Milpitas. It was Alanna's first time eating dim sum, she really seemed to like it. I am so glad that she is an adventurous eater! She also loves to share pearl tea drinks with us.

We rang in 2008 at Susan and Brad's house, the Jensen's joined us too. We had a delicious dinner and spent a lot of time laughing together. Celebrating with good friends is always special. We didn't get to sleep in yesterday, after our late night out, but we did have a nice relaxing day. We took Alanna to the park in the morning, watched some football, and went to look at Christmas lights for the last time this season.
