Mitch had fun with all his games.
All of us loved having Jess around.
We tried and failed to keep the mess contained.
Mitch loved his new "basketball warm-ups"!
Lindsey loved all the Barbie fun!
Grandma painted Alyssa's nails on Christmas.
We had a great Christmas and New Year as a family. For Christmas, we stayed here and did some of our own family traditions, and just had fun. The kids thought this was the best Christmas yet, and we thought so too! It gets funner and funner the older they are. Their favorite gifts this year: Mitch-video games; Lindsey-barbies...lots of barbies and a barbie townhouse; Alyssa-either her princess scooter or the Mr. potato head from Grandpa. She loves that potato head! All in all it was a great day. We went to Lehi to hang out with my family at Suzanne and Sterlings and have Christmas dinner. It was fun until the drive home on the ICY roads and blowing snow. Not so fun. The rest of the time, we have had kind of a staycation doing fun things with the kids. We went to Madagascar 2 with my brother Adam and his family on saturday the 27th. Great movie. We also took the the kids to see Bedtime Stories a couple of days ago. It was really cute. Alyssa didn't love it so much. It is more for older kids. Mitch especially liked it. Our nights(and I mean all night) were spent a few times playing cards and games with some of our good friends and our days were spent trying to recover from our nights:) and doing things together! We had a great New Year's with friends again doing the aforementioned up all night games. Thanks heavens for good friends and family. We are excited for the New Year and the possibilities that 2009 will bring!

The new year is already 6 days old! So far so good. May the remaining 359 days be perfectly, or imperfectly, terrific!
Looks like you guys had a blast! I'm so glad we stayed home Christmas too. I think the kids liked it better...they didn't have to choose which one of their toys they wanted to take to G-ma's. Lyssa is sooo big! What a cute little girl! And how grown up those other two are! What a cute fam you have! We have to get together!
I'm so glad your holiday was that-a Holiday. How fun for all of you! WE also had a great holiday. loved talking to you the other day-your a great friend!
Looks like Santa was very generous to the Hansen children, they must have been very very good this year (we can't say the same for the England children). I've decided staying at home Christmas's are the best. BTW I LOVE the new haircut. I was just thinking yesterday and you, me and Lisa still need to get together for dinner soon. My schedule is pretty open these days, will you talk to her and see when is a good time and we'll get together?
