And we're back...

Well, after our three and a half week hiatus across the northwest we are back and up and running. We hope everyone had a great Christmas and a great start to the new year. We have really enjoyed our holidays (see pictures below). It began in Klamath Falls. My Grandma and Grandpa Jensen were there and got to spend time getting to know their great grandchildren. My sister Alli and I played and shopped a bunch. We went to a couple of my mom's concerts. Carter enjoyed riding the four wheeler, feeding the horses, and trying to sneak out the front door. Within five minutes of being at my parents' house he figured out how to unlock the deadbolt on their front door and was standing on the front porch playing with their dog. We also enjoyed six inches of fresh snow the night before we left.
After Klamath we ventured over to Boise and stayed with Jefferson's brother Josh and his wife Jenn. Jefferson's sisters, Alli and Abbey, and his dad were there too. Josh and Jenn have four horses, two dogs, and a cat. Needless to say, Carter was in heaven. Jenn couldn't get her fill of Andi and Jefferson and I enjoyed a little bit of down time while everyone tended to our children.
Next came Twin Falls. We stayed with Jefferson's Aunt Di and Uncle Dave. They have five kids, Trevor, Tyler, Tyson, Tiffany, and Taylor, who tended to our two kids night and day. Between taking them out to the horses, sneaking them marshmallows, and letting them play the piano, we didn't have to do much.
It's back to reality now. We have enjoyed this past week with just our little family, settling in. Carter has been playing with all his new toys and Andi is just learning to sit and getting the whole eating solids thing down.
Hope all of your holidays were equally relaxing and fun. Happy New Year!

So, I want to know how it is that you and Jefferson haven't been kicked out of the Harmon family yet, seeing as how neither your names nor your kids' names start with the same letter. It seems to be a requirement and or trend :) Josh/Jenn Alli/Abbey Di/Dave and the 5 T's? Seriously, I'm surprised he even agreed to marry you :)

Yay! Glad to have you back after forever! Looks like all your trips within your trip were fun and successful. I bet it was fun to see everyone and like you said have all the many extra hands to help with the kiddos. Hopefully it's not a harsh reality when you're home and Jefferson is back at school again. You'll probably all welcome it and love it again (for the most part anyway! :)
