Hansen Family Photos 2009

Our friend Leanne of Price Family Photography took our family photos this year. I am sure you will agree she did a fantastic job with what she had to work with! I have found with 3 boys it is difficult to get everyone looking and smiling at the same time!

Tyler's Polar Express Performance

This year Tyler's Christmas performance at school was The Polar Express. Several of the kids had reading parts from the movie and they sang most of the songs mixed with other Christmas songs. I loved it when they sang "When Christmas comes to Town." I don't know if that's the official song, but it is such a beautiful song and they did such a great job. It's so amazing to me how Tyler will hide on stage at church and not sing any words and just give a sour look, but at school he is right up front singing loudly and doing all the actions. I think he is so confident because they practice every day at school and he knows all the words and actions. This is a clue to me that I need to somehow make sure he knows the songs in the Primary program.

His little buddy was embarrassed when people were clapping. He was trying to hide on Tyler.

After the performance I got to go help in Tyler's class with their breakfast. This is something that makes Tyler so proud. I don't get to go into the classroom because siblings are not allowed to be in there and I don't really have anyone to watch the other boys. This was such a special day because Trent was able to stay home after the performance for another hour so I could go do this. They had pancakes, egg casserole, bacon, sausage and juice. Their teacher does such a good job!

November 2009

The middle of November brought Tyler's last baseball game. Yay!! It was getting cold and I was seriously tired of baseball 3 nights a week at the age of 6! Don't get me wrong I love it that he likes it and is improving every week, but it's a long season with 2 other kids bored to death at these outings. Now, as I write this in January Spring sign-ups are upon us :)

Our little Cael is an absolute trooper at these games. This is how he acts almost the entire game. Smiley, laughing...

and winking at us.

This is the best I could get from these 3 :)

Cason's 1st Birthday

I just love spending time with these guys. I was very fortunate to marry into a family where my sister in laws are my friends. We are blessed to be in the category of "not normal" when it comes to our relationships. Whenever we get together it is truly fun and happiness instead of arguing and drama like I hear it is in many families. I have always been so grateful for this wonderful dynamic! These cousins are the BEST of friends!

Poor little Cael and his winter breathing problems :(
He was such a trooper during the time we had to do these breathing treatments.
