We were lucky to get to visit with Justin's grandparents who live in St. George but were up in SLC for the week. We love them so much!

Don't you just love the squinty-eyed smiles!
Matching!
Kenz and Corey were so generous to us - they gave Shelley and Jorgen lots of toys they didn't need anymore.
Taegan had just as much fun giving as Jorgen did getting a present!
GiGi had the magic touch with Zander - put him right to sleep!
These boys are just darling!

Jorgen had so much fun opening his stocking! This year was so much fun with him understanding more about Christmas and getting so excited about everything!

Unfortunately, Justin was sick on Christmas morning! Jorgen and Shelley also got sick - no fun! But they were all troopers through it all.
We got to talk to my parents on ichat on Christmas morning and Jorgen gave them big virtual hugs to thank them for giving him some new trains! :) We miss them SO much!!

Justin felt a little better later on...
I put together a book for Justin of memories from his family. He LOVED it and almost threw up because he was laughing so hard at one of the stories his brother wrote....It was so funny!
Justin surprised me with Wicked tickets!!! We are going to try and go around my birthday in San Francisco - what fun! I can't wait to see it again!
This picture is so funny - Jorgen's got quite the arm - throwing his new nerf ball from Papa!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JUSTIN!!
Justin turned 27 this year on the 27th of December! Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!
All he wanted for his birthday was a train cake because Jorgen is slightly obsessed with Thomas the tank engine. It turned out pretty cool!

It was Grant's birthday the day before Justin's birthday so we celebrated both together.

The birthday boy!
Justin and his sister, Natalie, with the youngins.
Justin decided that since it was his birthday he really wanted to go up behind the house and track down some deer. He saw a ton of them and even spotted a buck. Can you see him in the middle of the photo?
We are now back in sunny California and loving the weather here but missing all of our lovely family in Utah!
Happy New Years!

i love the holidays and all the time we spend together with loved ones. that is what it is all about - families and the Savior.
love you
we should've gotten together while we were here! Seems like getting sick was the theme of the holidays. It's made it through just about all of us!
I bet Justin is having a GREAT night tonight! =) i won't say go UTES but GO MWC!!! =)
oops - I erased the part where I said - even with the sickness it's so worth being able to see everyone!!!
It was great to see you guys! I LOVE how long that post was. Talk about a great update.
What a fun review of all our wonderful times together! It was so special having you with us. It definitely made our Christmas the best! Miss you all....Jorgen with the red and white pom pom on his head and the Utah hat is exactly what Maddy and Glory did as well. I think we have pictures on my camera....I guess all Hansens think alike! That might be a bit scary....
