Happy Holidays!

I have been horrible about keeping anything updated. . . so here goes the last half of December all at once. Here are Abe and Tilly, enjoying some time together under the kitchen table. Abe takes after me and can fall asleep most anywhere!

Here is a cute photo of the kids at the Christensen party with my favorite man. Some of them were more scared than others, but somehow McKayla knew that "Santa was Joshy!" He was unprepared to be Santa this year, but his brown church shoes for boots were hardly noticable!

Believe it or not, my cute nephew Jordan is 16! He was ordained a Priest and we were glad that we could be there with him. What a great kid, even if he is a Brave! It was fun to see his basketball games and to rock Guitar Hero with him while we've been home!

Jensen Christmas Party!

We had good food. . .

good company. . . and good entertainment!

We got to meet a new nephew, Henry. . .

and a new niece, Aria! Christmas day was spent visiting with family and as always, we were spoiled with gifts. I liked this present the most though, despite the experimental facial hair! Josh was showing off his "Santa's Favorite" award-winning sweater!
Happy New Year!

Me and Jacob, the cutest little stud that I used to babysit. He got to come visit with his dad and sister. It was so fun to get together with some great friends.

"Jensen Game" definition: a spur of the moment (never organized) activity that is EXTREMELY entertaining to those participating.

This particular Jensen Game consisted of using as much wind force as possible to keep two balls on a table (from a New Year's Eve headband, see above). It is hard to explain how hard we were laughing, especially once my dad (an endless windbag) started playing. The object of the game was to not let the ball fall off of your side of the table. We played until we almost passed out and until our faces and stomachs hurt from laughing so darn hard.

Rockwell, Kenli, and Noah still enjoying the party favors even on New Year's morning!
