For some reason, whenever I sit down to update this blog, I get completely distracted. SO let's see if I can get through this, here we go..............................

 We had a wonderful Christmas spent between Idaho, Washington, and Utah.  It was so refreshing to be home, but as usual the time came and flew by way to fast. Can't wait until next time! 

 Here are some of the highlights:

Malea and Cousin Kyla meeting for the first time.

Such a little cute muffin!

We had a gingerbread decorating contest while we were in Idaho; Mark and Stephanie coming in first, Brian and Ashlee and Tanner and I coming in second, and Alysha and Jared coming in last. Sorry Lysha and Jared, I thought yours was VERY creative!

Malea and Grandma and Grandpa Hansen

grandma and grandpa Hansen and all the Hansen cousins! My whole life, we have gotten together with all the Hansens on Christmas day to celebrate.  I was so glad we were able to make it this year. I love my cousins!

Malea and darling cousin Hallie.

My favorite family in the whole world! Cute christmas pjs that my mom puts together every  year.  

 After all of the Christmas festivities, we traveled the long journey across the desert plains to Roy to have some fun with the Renchers!

I have the best in laws ever. It is always a party with them! Here are some pics of the never ending party:

 Malea is getting close to SIX MONTHS old! She is becoming more and more fun each day. She is getting quite the little personality and brings so much joy into our home! I am so lucky I get to spend all day with her.
