:: Happy Holidays ::

Another Christmas has come and gone, and there are less than 6 hours left of 2011! We've been celebrating Christmas all month! Blake has loved Christmas light (called "ho, ho"s), the candy, movies, baby Jesus, and Santa!We had a great time catching up at the Holland Christmas Party in Brigham City...We stopped to visit Grandma Sorensen on the way home...Blake met (and LOVED) Santa at the ward Christmas party...and at Costco with Mrs. Claus :) Blake wants to stay with "Tanta" long enough that Santa says, "Okay, little boy. It's time to go back to your mom now."We were in Burley for Christmas this year for talent shows, the annual cousin nativity, shopping, baking, watching movies, playing, and giggling with my sisters. Abi caught a cute picture of "Dapa" (my dad) and his siblings having a chat :)It was special to attend church on Christmas morning, to take the sacrament, sing hymns with the choir, and remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. "Nama" (my mom) sewed these pretty Christmas dresses for my sisters, and now I have one too!We opened our Christmas presents after church, and Blake caught on quick. He would squeal while opening present after present --whether they were his or not :) Santa brought Blake shoes, clothes, tractors, an animal book, and choo-choo train. I got a cake pop baker, clothes, an awesome ukelele, and a beautiful jewelry armiore! Santa brought Eric clothes, a chop saw, air compressor, and air tools! Blake got some snazzy Sunday clothes from Nama and Abi, and he wore them again to the annual Christensen Ball on the 28th. Blake and I had so much fun dressing up and dancing! Too bad Eric couldn't make it. :( AND I just realized there is only one picture of Eric in this whole post! Whooops. Sorry honey, I love you! ;)We've had such fun and are so loved by friends and family! Last night, after a 60* day (in IDAHO?!?!) we went with Holly and Eric's parents to steak dinner and a swim at Downata. Life is so good! 2011 has been so good to us. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
