San Diego-Taste of Spring!

We went down to San Diego around Valentine's day this year to say goodbye to Sara.  She was leaving on her mission to Guatemala so all of the sibilings and their families gathered into the Hansen house for a few days to spend time with her before she left.  She is such an amazing missionary and we are so grateful for her awesome example!  While we were down there we took Jenna to Sea World for the first and second time.  She LOVED it!  She got to ride on some of the kid rides in the Sesame Street land, pet a couple of dolphins, hold some starfish, and see lots of cool animals.  Shamu had a baby while we were there so we didn't see the Shamu show but we did get to see Shamu, Shamu's family, and the brand new baby orca whale.  The beluga whale exhibit was closed so we will look forward to seeing those and the Shamu show next time we go.  Jenna had a lot of fun playing in Grandma and Grandpa Hansen's yard, hanging out in the hot tub and around the pool, playing with Roxy and Daisy (she loved the dogs), and running around and playing with her cousins. We had such a nice, fun, relaxing, warm trip!  We are Happy we are Hansens Yesiree!

Christmas

Christmas was a lot of fun! Jenna was really into everything this year.  We made gingerbread houses, read lots of Christmas stories, learned about the nativity, learned about Santa Claus, went to see the lights at temple square, made and delivered neighbor gifts, wrapped a lot of presents together, etc.  Jenna has made up a lot of new Christmas songs, mostly about baby Jesus, Mary Joseph, and the donkey. :)  We have one of them that she sand to us before bed on Christmas eve. She is so smart and adorable! She got a polly pocket house, her first barbies, some magnetic puzzles, her very own nail polish and more!  Christmas with a toddler is the most fun Christmas has ever been!
