Christmas and other Joyous Events...

So yay! Something to blog about! Christmas! ha ha. I spent Christmas in Utah this year. Spending it away from mom and the family in Henderson was sad, but the Utah fam and my dear sweet Jana made it so awesome! A few days before Christmas, Jana and I (with Steve and Jessica's help) decorated a gingerbread house! I've been wanting to do that for years, so Jana bought a kit for us :) ha ha. It was fun.
I spent Christmas Eve at Grandpa Jensen's house. Again, it was good to be around the whole family even though we missed him. Jana and I wore red and green without even planning it. ha ha. We're so funny.

Christmas morning, we woke up and opened presents at Steve's. Jana got me a new KARAOKE MACHINE and an MP3 player! I know, I know.... She totally spoils me. It was fun watching Laura, Dalton, Steve, Jess, Kaleb, and dad open their stuff too. Then we went over to Candice and Randall's to watch their kiddies open their gifts and then had breakfast/brunch there and played some games. It was a really fun day! On dad's birthday (Dec. 27th) the clan got together again and it was a blast- I got to try out my new karaoke machine, which was great! Good times...

Other fun things... THIS JUST IN- I have a new niece as of a few hours ago: Kayleigh (sp?) Elizabeth Turpin. Isn't she a doll?!

I'm really looking forward to New Years and the birth of Cameron (also sp?) now. This is a fun time of year for us and I can't wait to see what fun things the next few weeks bring. :)
