It's hard to believe another Christmas has come and gone! Oh, how I LOVE Christmas! I love the magic of the season, the yummy holiday baking and the smells of the season, the many decorations and lights, and most of all the reminder of how blessed we are and how grateful I am for our Savior.
We were lucky enough to have Clint's grandpa staying with us for a week and was here on Christmas morning. I forgot to take photos of him, but did get some good video. It was fun to have him here and spend some extra quality time with him!
Once we did our own thing and spent the morning here, we headed to the Jensen's for lunch and more fun! We had a great time and all conferenced in on a call from my brother Jordan serving in New Jersey. It was fun to hear from him and what a positive great missionary he is! We then headed to the Albright's for Christmas dinner which is always amazing! I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such great family on both sides!
One of my favorite moments this year was taking Lexi to the store because she wanted to buy her brothers a gift with her very own money. It was fun to let her choose something for each of them and even more fun to see her excitement as they opened her gift. She came into our room at 3am because she couldn't sleep due to her excitement for Christmas. She was up about every hour asking if it was time yet.
Caden loved every gift as usual! He loves the trampoline from Santa and spends much more time outside now instead of in front of the tv. Thank goodness for that! =)
Archer was content playing with the wrapping paper and climbing on the boxes!
Clint had my brother Joel this year and was so excited to give him his gift. It was a t-shirt with a guitar built right in and an amp that attaches to your pants so you can really play it! Way cool and we can't wait to see it in action! He also gave him "misfortune" cookies. Instead of a kind uplifting fortune, these cookies "hate you". The things they say are so funny! For example: "You will die alone and poorly dressed" or "Your friends don't really like you". We thought they were especially funny since he works for P.F. Changs.

Lexi and Caden opening one of their many gifts from Grandpa and Grandma Jensen. (It really pays to have the only grandchildren on my side!) They love their new scooters! Thanks so much!

Archer is so adorable! Lexi and Caden too of course! I was just putting away the Christmas cards and wanted to apologize for not sending you one. We didn't know your new address so figured we would wait until we got a card from you. By the time we got your card Casey had given out the rest of our cards to work people. Hope you had a great Christmas. Looks like you did. Aspen Grove in 7 months! Take care! -Lori
It looks like you guys had such a great Christmas! I am SOOO bummed we didn't get to see you guys. We had planned on staying like 2 or 3 days in Phoenix and were gonna stop and see you guys. Then it snowed and we got stuck in Eagar and Tim was asked to speak at a baptism here in CA so we ended up having to drive straight through. We left Eagar at 9:30am on Friday morning and got home at 1:30 Saturday morning. It was awful. But we are sorry we didn't get to stop by.
