Season’s Greetings from the Jensen Family 2010
Brandon had a good year at work and enjoyed several business trips. He coached Tanner's basketball team last winter and is preparing to do it again. He enjoys watching cooking shows and trying new creations in the kitchen. He likes to put secret ingredients in his recipes. Iron Chef here he comes!
Jen made it through a Disneyland trip in March being eight months pregnant! The first day there was St. Patrick's Day and it was fun to watch the sea of green clothing on people all day. Zach said, "Hey there's Dad!" Jen said, "Really? Where?" He said, "Right there....the one wearing the green shirt." Jen and Leah were lucky enough to join Brandon on a trip to Boston in August. She feels blessed that five adorable children call her Mom.
Tanner enjoys being a big 4th grader and hanging out with his buddies. He takes after his dad as a sports-lover…Go Cougars! He is often found reading the paper and watching SportsCenter when he’s not actually playing basketball and football. He is a good artist, and also enjoys learning to play the piano. Tanner is a kindhearted big brother and fun to be around.
Zach is in 2nd grade with Megan this year. Last spring he received the third place trophy in the school's storytelling contest with his entertaining version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. He is very good at writing and telling stories, singing, and just entertaining us! Zach loves having his own bedroom and keeps it clean and organized.
Megan is an excellent student and loves her teacher. She and Zach are in the same class again this year. She loves having a little sister! She enjoyed taking dance classes these past three years, and has decided she'd like to try gymnastics in the upcoming year. She enjoys learning to play the piano and loves to do any kind of a project. Megan’s a sweet girl and loves to draw and write little notes to say thank you or that she loves us.
Gavin is our happy, three-year-old sunshine boy. He loves life and playing with his "kids"...which are his siblings. He is a very thoughtful and grateful boy. He loves reading stories and singing songs ranging from Primary songs to Beatles Rockband where his specialty is “Yellow Submarine.” Gavin is so excited for Christmas to come. He says if he hears Santa, he will “tear open the shutters and throw up the sash” and see him!
In April, our little angel, Leah Rose joined our family. She is such a joy and a good-natured baby. She is eight months old and usually the center of attention around our house. Over the past month she has mastered crawling and putting very small items into her mouth! She is also standing up to everything and going up the stairs. We sure do love her.
We are grateful for this time of year to celebrate our Savior’s birth and connect with family and friends. May your Christmas season be filled with peace, joy and love.
Merry Christmas!
Love, Brandon, Jen, Tanner, Megan, Zach, Gavin and Leah Jensen
