Merry Christmas

                 Clark got a scooter with the "funny guys".                  Her 1st gift.  

 

                 I love that Daisy still plays with dolls.            Hanna loves making silly faces.

                                     Ninja Walt                                                  Pirate Clark

                   Max is looking like a teenager here!             Van is by far the hardest to please.

Happy girl.

                                                           Jane's First Christmas

                                                            Walt's Santa gift was a hit!

                                  The best picture I could get of all of them on Christmas Day.

           Right after opening presents, these two, plus Van headed off to see Star Wars 

with some of the Jensen cousins..

Thankfully, Hanna was well enough for presents, but not long after she was sick again.

Van was sick last Christmas.

Sick kids on Christmas is so sad.

Christmas Eve

 Our traditional Nativity play.

 The cast

 Santa is tired!

 The kids sleep in our room on Christmas Eve.

Max and Hanna slept in their own beds, they're growing up.

Busy Day

We spent the day with cousins and Dee Dee.
First we went to see Under Water Santa and the Mermaid swim in an aquarium at a casino, 

(only in Vegas). Kind of funny, but cool to see too.

Then we walked around the Bass Pro Shop.

 Then we went to the Bellagio Gardens.

 Inside a snow globe.

 With Dee Dee and cousins, Hailey, Ruby and Zachary.

 Then we went to our ward dinner and took pics. with Santa.

 So bummed this picture is so blurry.

 It was an eventful day. 

Danny enjoyed the quiet home, while sick in bed.

December Misc.

Clark and Scarlet are best buds.

Hanna performing at her school Christmas program.

She's really been enjoying Instruments Club.

Walt received the "Good Choices" Citizenship award.

 

Hanna received the "Kindness" Citizenship Award.

Hanna and I (and Jane) drove to Bullhead, AZ for the day for Hanna's soccer tournament.

They kept both games to a tie at 0-0.

More Christmas Performances.

Walt, Daisy & Clark ready for movie night.

Clark has been wearing this Santa hat non-stop.

 

When his bath was full of bubbles, I just couldn't resist. 

Ho Ho Ho

My toffee finally turned out! Third times the charm.

Brothers

Wrestling is so much fun...

UNTIL...

Jane Turns 5 Months!

She's such a happy baby girl!

 

Still not rolling, because she loves to be held! 

Cutting her 2nd tooth and still as happy as ever!

Decorations Are Up

We are so use too seeing Clark and his cute little bum cheeks lately.

 This was the first year I let the kids decorate the tree with no help from me.

I cracked and fixed a few spots while they were at school one day.

 My favorite Christmas Decorations...

The tree,
 the cradle with baby Jesus,

 This beautiful manger set my mother in law gave me.

The pic. does not do justice, the pieces are huge.

 

My very favorite Christmas pics.
