A day with the Bennetts!

My brother, Jason, and his darling family came all the way from Hawaii to visit the first weekend of December! They flew into LAX and then drove up to us to spend two days before they had to head back to LA to go to Disneyland. We are SOOOOO glad they came to see us! It was so much fun!

We played at our park.




Went to the Creche exhibit at one of the ward houses.
It was incredible!
There were crafts for the children.

Dress ups.
Here is Mary.And Joseph.A very sweet angel!A shepherd and his lamb.And a few more manger animals.Dress ups were a blast!The children were able to see a marionette show about the first Christmas.After that, we headed to the City to see some sites.
Squish!Jase, Rach, and Klai made it out to the bridge while the rest of the children took a nap.

We then headed south to Los Gatos to a Christmas Train ride.
A very adorable tan family that was FREEZING while we waited for our turn to ride the train.Little buddies!Jorgen and Shae meeting the conductor.
On the train ride!Some of the neat lights we saw.In memory of my Dad. :)
A tired babe.The train tickets include unlimited rides on the carousel.
I cannot even count how many times we went around. What a blast!
Jase was full of fun faces!
We miss our Hawaiian Bennetts so much already!

The Other Hansens

We spent ten days in Dallas and had the best time! Remarkably, I somehow managed to only take a few pictures the entire time. A record for sure! I wish I would have had my camera around more to capture the fun memories we had. After the 'sell weekend' with the two companies, we spent a week with Matt and Jene' (Justin's older brother and wife) and their sweet girls at their home. Miles and Siena (Justin's younger brother and wife) flew out for the week as well. It was so fun seeing everyone again! It had been a very long time since we were all together!

The BYU vs. Utah game was on Saturday so Jorgen got all prepped for the game with his Daddy and Uncles.
Jorgen dressed up in his uncle Matt's U of U jersey.

Uncle Matt and Jorgen
Tough football faces!
The day we left, I hurried and took a picture of the cousins before Madeline and Glory left for school. Jorgen and Shelley had so much fun playing with their wonderful cousins! The girls were all so sweet and good to Jorgs and Shells!
The whole bunch:
Jorgen, Shelley, Madeline, Glory, and Charolette
We are thrilled that we will be able to live near them after graduation! They are such a fun family and we look up to them and love them so much!
