One of Ashley's little friends (Sarah) will be moving at the end of this month. All her other friends were so sad that they decided to throw her a going away party. And they made it a surprise going away party. They made the decorations, planned all the activities and planned the treats. Ashley also made invitations and passed them out before really even talking to me!!! It was really fun and they were super cute.

Grandma's cinnamon rolls
Grandma Townsend came to stay with us for three months. It has been so fun to have her here. She is so cute and feisty and she is also so sweet and brings out the best in all of us (except maybe her ornery daughter.) Allison really wanted to learn how to make grandma's cinnamon rolls so yesterday they made some.
When the rolls started to rise my kids kept saying "it smells like grandma's house" Grandma's house is a very special place to my kids. For Jarin and Allison when someone says go to your happy place they always go to grandma's house. We have such good, warm fuzzy memories of her house.
They turned out awesome. They tasted and smelled and looked just as they should. Thank-you grandma for teaching her this. Thanks for all the happy memories. Thanks for all the help you have been for the last 3 months (and my entire life) and thanks for putting up with this Jensen family that is most often no where near perfect. We will miss her and we hope she is brave enough to come back for another extended visit.

Christmas 2013 at the Jensen's house
Christmas Jammies
The traditional handing out of sibling gifts and having to say something nice about the person you are giving it to.
Allison is so proud that she thought of two things to say nice about Jason
The kids slept in until almost eight. That has NEVER happened before. I think it is because the person who usually is up before 6 is in Washington DC.

Before Christmas
First snowstorm
Ashley danced at the Dicken's festival. They had live reindeer. This one was eating tinsel so I tried to pull it out of its mouth. It stomped its feet and huffed at me. I guess reindeer like tinsel.
Ward Christmas party and Santa with Ashley, Sarah, and Bailey
We made Snowman cupcakes
Allison made a family of snowmen. They were so cute no one would eat them.
Our gingerbread village.
