Jensen Christmas Loot 2008

For those of you that are interested, there may be more posts below you may not have seen. The video below this slideshow is Tan's reaction to receiving a Wii. Santa didn't put it under the tree, he "accidentally" put it in the corner by the couch and Dad said, "What's this over here?" after all other presents were open. Tanner was one happy boy!

Holiday Parties

This seemed to be the year of holiday parties for us. We had the Kirkbride party(Brandon's mom's side of the family). It was at an elem. school complete with games and pinatas! Look below for Megan's creative way of doing one of the games. Too cute. We had my family party(Jen's)complete with a special visitor-Santa! Tanner would have stayed on his lap all day listing off all the things he wanted-seriously, he basically had to be pried off! It was pretty funny. We had the Jensen/Washburn family party(at Brandon's mom's house). This was where our family sang "Angels We Have heard on High"(the kids did really really well) and then Zach wanted to do a solo, "Away in a Manger." I have posted that below also. We also had the Jensen family party up at a cabin in the Ogden area. Grandma and Grandpa Jensen host that every year. On New Year's Eve we had family pictures taken(Brandon's siblings and families) and hung out to play until after 10 pm. It was a lot of traveling and playing this season, but the kids enjoyed it. Zach especially was sad to see the holiday break end and go back to school ,claiming his "happiness had ended"!!! I am sorry to say that my happiness did not end with the start of school again! I must be a mom!

Kelly Returns!

Brandon's brother Kelly returned from his mission in Thailand on December 19th. We all gathered at the airport that night(a huge group) and everyone was so excited! The weather was terrible and many flights were delayed. His plane couldn't land and had to refuel in Las Vegas which put them landing in Salt Lake at 1:30 am! Talk about disappointment! Most of us went home, but a few stayed including Brandon, Tanner and Megan!
