Last minute trip...

On Tuesday Dec. 23rd my Grandpa, Denmark Jensen, passed away. He was 93 years old and lived such a great life. We traveled to Utah for his funeral, on Dec. 29th, and spent a few days with family. I thought I knew my grandpa well, but learned so many new things about him at his funeral. It will sure be hard to visit Utah knowing that grandpa won't be sitting in his chair asking me if he wants me to lose to him in a game of zilch. I know that he is now reunited with many members of his family and we will someday see him again. Until then, we will sure miss you grandpa!

Of course Utah is covered in a blanket of snow right now and the kids had a blast playing in it for the first time. We went to Salt Lake to visit Grandpa & Grandma Westphal and my brother Jordan built a snowman with Lexi. She thought that was so much fun! For some reason we only have a picture of Caden with the final product.

While staying at Grandpa Albright's house, Clint took the kids out for a snow ball fight.

Merry Christmas!

Phoenix Children's Museum

With Clint's brother in town for Christmas we've been doing so many fun things. On Tues. we went to the Children's Museum. It was so much fun and the kids loved it! There was so much to do. We spent 4 1/2 hours there and still didn't do it all. We will definately be going back.

Caden thought he'd try out the painting. Once he realized he could only use orange (one color a day) he was bummed. He kept asking for green and I told him there wasn't any green. He then would point to a green part on the house and said, "yeah, there's green". He couldn't understand that they only paint with one color a day.

They had fun creating a pizza and putting it in the oven.

Lexi and Caden loved the grocery shopping. They thought it was so cool to be act like a cashier and bagger.

Santa Claus is coming to town...

On the Monday before Christmas, we had our large Albright family celebration. My mother-in-law made a yummy meal and we had a great time visiting with one another. We planned on having a blow up bouncer for the kids, but the weather decided not to cooperate and it rained all night long. The kids still had a great time playing together, breaking open a Rudolph pinata, and having a special visit from the jolly fellow himself, Santa! We also did our first annual cousin book exchange and the kids loved that. Thanks to Chris & Peggy for putting together such a fun night for all of us!

Santa even had a present for Clint and I.

Sunday Best

On sunday, Lexi and Caden looked so cute in their Christmas outfits. Caden loves having a tie on "just like Dad". I may be a little bias, but I think they are the cutest!

Daddy Daughter

Clint has been wanting to take Lexi on a date for quite some time. He wanted to spend some quality one on one time with Lexi. He told her she could choose whatever she wanted to do. They ended up going to cold stone and got strawberry ice cream with brownies. Lexi says the ice ceam was good, but the brownies were "so nasty". She is so funny! After that, they went to As you Wish and painted together. Clint said they had a blast. Lexi made a unicorn and Daddy made a reindeer ornament. They can't wait for their next date together.

Planet Orange

Clint and I went to the Suns game vs. the Knicks last night. We had a great time. We were excited to go to this game because D'Antoni, the suns former coach, now coaches the Knicks. We got a little taste of the "high" life at the game. Clint got tickets from Honeywell in the box seats and we got the VIP parking pass in the garage right beneath the arena. We also got to enjoy all drinks and food we wanted. How great is that? What made it even better is that the Suns played really well and it was an exciting game. We both agreed when we left that we need to do this way more often!
