Christmas Letter 2012

Dear Family & Friends,                                                                                  Christmas 2012

It seems as though this wonderful Christmas season comes sooner and sooner each year! We feel blessed to have so many wonderful family members and friends in our lives. We always enjoy letting you know about the changes life has offered us within the passing year and look forward to hearing of yours!

This year has been a year of much change. The biggest change that has happened in our family is the arrival of baby boy Clark Edmond , born February, 28^th. Clark is 9 months now and is crawling all around and climbing all over the furniture. He is a joy to have in our home and is loved by all of his siblings!

Danny was released as Bishop because of ward boundary changes, which means much changed for us in a new ward. Danny now serves as Young Men’s advisor and seminary substitute. He enjoys working with the youth. Soon after Danny was released as Bishop he received his food service contracts back at the Community Colleges in Las Vegas, what a blessing! The entire time Danny served as Bishop he didn’t have his job, seems to me that the Lord had his hand in that one J. Danny has joked that the Lord felt he couldn’t handle both at the same time. The next time around Danny wants to assure the Lord that he can handle both! Danny also finished a big project he had been working on last year, his Easy Make Bedding. Visit https://www.easy-make.com/ to read more about, who knows maybe it will be sold at Wal-Mart near you!

Jenny is busier this year than ever! From the many titles that pull her every which way as Preschool Teacher, Cub Scout Master, P.T.O. Treasurer, Soccer Coach, Taxi Driver, Maid, Cook, Wife and Mother of SIX you can only imagine what life is like in the Jensen home, but what a wonderful life it is!

We are blessed to have my mom still living with us! She keeps herself busy (now you see where Jenny gets it from) this means we don’t see her often, but she is an assistant teacher in Jenny’s preschool which is a big help! When she is home Danny and Jenny try and squeeze in a date night.

Max is 9 and enjoys: Fourth Grade, Girls, P.E., Arts and Crafts, Friends, Scouts, looking forward for basketball to start in January and is hoping for an electric guitar for Christmas.

Hanna is 7 and enjoys: Second Grade, P.E., Arts and Crafts, Friends, Horses, Soccer, Jazz, Visiting her cousins and is looking forward to Christmas and her baptism in March.

Van is 6 and enjoys: Kindergarten, Friends, PLAYING (outside, on the Wii, on the computer…), Making us laugh and Visiting Uncle Jeff’s to play the X-Box.

Daisy is 4 and enjoys: Pre-K, Dance, Friends, Dress-up, Watching TV., Thumb Sucking, her Blankie and playing with Walt.  

Walt is also 4 and enjoys: Pre-K, Playing with Van & Daisy, Cleaning, the Wii, Mom, Dad and Thumb Sucking (he stopped for more than two weeks, earned a Wii game and started sucking again).

We feel so blessed to have our crazy lives with our six beautiful healthy children. We wish to extend our reverence and love to the Savior as we commemorate his birth at this time of year and at the same time extend our love to you. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love, Danny, Jennifer, Max, Hanna, Van, Daisy, Walt & Clark Jensen

Clark

Clark started crawling just before he turned 9 months. Just after he learned how to crawl he decided that climbing up the stairs is a lot of fun. He enjoys standing with help from the table, chairs, couches and whatever else that works. He is just learning to wave bye-bye and he claps when you say "patty-cake, patty-cake..." Clark is eating more solids in the day now, but still nurses most of the night. When I try and give him his pacifier in the middle of the night he just opens his mouth and screams; the little stinker! Clark is a good happy baby boy who likes his brothers and sisters, playing, climbing, music, mom and loves to nurse!
