The Christensen Family

WARNING:This is going to be a long one

We saw Santa in Cedarburg. He gave us a goody bag and pictures to take home.

Jada enjoyed hanging ornaments on me ears. This happened often.

Christmas #1: We came home from eating dinner and Wala! Awesome! Santa decided to come to our house early. I think he knew we were going to Washington and didn't want to lug a bunch of stuff home :)

Her favorites were a nursery for her baby, chapsticks, and nail polish :)

Story:

She was unwrapping a present and what had seemed "boring" I guess, Jada says, "No, I don't want it." and shoved it off to the side. "Hey" I screamed, "You don't even know what it is yet! Finish opening it!" She finished unwrapping and found puzzles, she was content after all and said, " I want it."

Washington Fun:

Pancake and scone breakfast every morning! Can't beat that! We were spoiled!

Tractor rides were her favorite

Naps with my baby were my favorite

Dane and I were also able to go on several dates.
It was nice to just be. You forget how relaxing that feels, almost TOO relaxing.

One date was to the Temple and Olive Garden afterwards. It was part of my Birthday celebration.

Happy Birthday to me

She decided her tub bucket was a hat and plopped it on her head.

Cutting snowflakes, but Jada insisted in cutting them into pieces. Oh well.

Jada being spoiled by her lovely cousin Ava.

She loved visiting Aunt Lindsey's house and cousins

She got dressed up, constant attention, fed candy, carried, and babied. Of course she was in heaven!

Snow time with Liv, Blake and Ava

Snowmobiling. We were going to go to the mountains but then it snowed enough at home. To be honest I was a little nervous to go to the mts so I was a little relieved. It worked out great so Jada could play too.

Going to try to do some sledding with cousins Damon and Joel. Cuties.

Awe. Got to shoot some clay pigeons. Also got to shoot at targets too with a 9mm. Dane shot the with bigger stuff, I could barely hold a grip with that! Fun :)

We also had a lovely farewell for Lindsey and Pete's son Anthony! He will be going to the Baltics, we wish him luck. He is really excited and anxious to leave on his mission. We are proud of him. Liv was so sweet to let Jada hold and play with their Hamster. She wanted to take it home.

The boys (Kene, Dane, Anthony) got their wish and got to go to the mountains. Actually really bummed I couldn't go. The rents were heading home that day, so there you go. It looks stunning!

Kene was so sweet to let Jada take a ride on their pony and visit the animals, she loved it.

We also were able to go to a live nativity scene program put on by Dane's ward. They had themed areas for animals, food and crafts for that time when Jesus was born. Pretty neat.
