Jensen Family Christmas Party

Every year Tommy's family has a big party to celebrate Christmas and enjoy being with family.  There is lots of yummy food, games, presentation on Christ's birth, and Santa even visits.  Last night I captured a few of the highlights according to Maya and Rett.

Maya has been requesting a snowman shirt to wear during the Christmas season.  She brought it up enough times that I thought she should have one, and of course Rett would need one too!
Santa's lap:  Maya did not want to sit on his lap but wanted a gift, she would not turn his direction or look at him.  Rett on the other hand, as soon as he heard his name called he RAN to Santa, jumped on his lap and started unwrapping his gift then and there. 
Playing with their gifts from Santa.
 Taking their turns at the piƱata.  I was impressed with both of them, they hit it hard.

Temple Square and Snow Day

For Family Home Evening a few weeks ago we headed to Salt Lake to look at the Christmas lights.  We walked by the display windows at Macy's where everything was made from candy and Rett got to ride a "train" (Trax) downtown for the first time.  I'm not sure what the kids were more excited about, the lights or the train? 
 
As for most children, my kids beg every day to play out in the snow.  Here some cute pictures of the fun.
