Christmas 2010

We had such a fun Christmas season. I was a slacker with my camera though. I didn't even take pictures on Christmas morning...pathetic. At least John picked up the slack and videoed the whole thing.
Christmas started on Thanksgiving weekend with the Jensen clan. My brother and his family were in town from Hawaii. It was so fun to see them!





In October of this year Hailey asked me point blank about Santa. I just skirted the question until I could talk to John about it. We decided that we needed to answer her so we went into her bedroom to have a talk. John broke the news to her and she just busted up laughing like she had been tricked and it was the funniest joke ever! Then she said, "what about the Easter Bunny?" When we said same thing, she just laughed and laughed. She thought it was hilarious. She has been great with the boys and loved being in on the secret this year! Easton still hates Santa and refused to believe that a man with a scary beard would enter our home at night and leave gifts!






Santa brought Hailey a much wanted and anticipated turtle. I need to take a picture. It is an aquatic turtle she named Pearl. She loves it and tells everyone she sees that she has a pet. Coleton got a wii...well the whole family got it, but he insists it is his. He got video games and a bike. Easton got a whole lot of Thomas stuff.

what a fun Christmas! I'm interested to hear about this turtle. My kids are always asking for a pet... I need something EASY.

I love that Hailey responded like that. Tessa is one of those little souls that will believe til the end. Jess and I will probably have to break it to her when she has her own kids. Braeden on the other hand stopped believing in 1st grade. They are so adorable. I LOVE Easton sitting on his chair at his Christmas program. So cute. And I can't believe you have a pet in the house. :)
