Merry Christmas and a ho ho ho

We had a great time at the annual Jenkins Family Christmas festivities this year. We really missed Robert's family, but we hope to see them soon. Fun was had by all, paticularly Abbey, who really seemed to enjoy the white elephant gifts :o) We were also able to sing to Grandpa Clark for his 83rd birthday. It was a great party, a big thank-you to Ray and Gaelynn for all of their hard work.

Grandpa blowing out his candles. We love you!

Our favorite old farmer looking pretty relaxed.

Ellie, Braden, & Brixen excited for presents.

Ray reading the pass along story.

Peter and Abbey are ready.

Me wrestling with Drew to keep him out of trouble (it didn't work suprise suprise)

What's Russ doing you ask well we don't really know. But he is a Cougar fan so I guess we don't need any other explanation. love ya buddy.

Peter & Abbey opening.

Ellie and the flashlight that she had a death grip on.

Braden and his pillow.

Shoeless Drew. Grandpa got a kick out of him trying to run away with Pete's football. Neither of us are sure about how he manged to stay on his feet. But he did.

are u saying ur head is a black hole?

Merry Christmas

Ray & GaeLynn, Thanks for the muy fabuloso party! And Russ, I'm sorry, it was Josh that made the original playlist & me that changed it to Depress Mode. I kept thinking "It's not really fair for us to be the only ones with control over the music, we should let everyone know how to do it," but these thoughts were had at random times when nothing could be done about it, then I would forget about it, which is the fate of alot of my thoughts.

For the record I did not add that song.

Family Playlist

I wanted to add a song to the playlist on the blog. But, after digging into it, the only way I could add a song was to create a new account since I did not know the username and password of the Playlist account Roger used when he added Depressed Mood (j/k I like the band, just get a chuckle from the name *grin*). So, I created a new Playlist account. The username is JenkinsBlog. I won't put the password here. Just give me a call and I will give you the password (or post a comment and I'll call you, whatever *grin*). Anyone can login to the Playlist account and add any songs. The playlist can have up to 200 songs in it so we have plenty of room for everyone to add their favorite song.

For those of you who are wondering

We left Forgotten Carols last night 'cause Abby puked. Thankfully it wasn't like the barf-a-thon Saturday night and she just got it all out in one shot. She's a little cranky this morning, but other than that she's still Abby.

We are taking her to the allergist today 'cause she had a reaction to something Wednesday at school and we're thinking her peanut allergy may be expanding to include other members of the family (legume family, that is). I might post later w/ more details.

I'd write more of an update, but I just heard "peanut butter make you sick!" so I'm guessing Peter's in the kitchen.

Children or Parrots??

Some days I'm not sure if I'm actually raising children or just living with a pair of (exceptionally messy) parrots....

Illustration: The other night we get home from running an errand and are herding the twins inside. I stop Abby to pull her hoodie off, and as she goes running into the living room I notice she has no shirt on. So in the time it takes for my brain to process the fact that the shirt came off with the sweatshirt, I mutter "What the heck...?"

For the next 3-5 minutes, Abby stood in the living room repeating "What the heck! What the Heck!" and giggling...

*sigh*

Thank you Shell

Ray was correct

There you go Ray. It doesn't matter how you do the christmas list, someone will complain that it is rigged. :)

The Silence Inside

Roger, I suggest you really do "Enjoy the silence." Te-hee!

Also, for Christmas, I gave the list to your wife, but Kari has Abbi and Braden has Robby.

Speaking of Christmas lists, if I didn't know better, I might say the sib one was RIGGED! It just looks funny since it's so proportionate!

Alrighty, Peace out.

After visiting the Jensen blog, I would just like to say that I like this blog much better. Enjoy the Silience.

I thought you knew everything.

Cousins list

Rog,

GaeLynn and I have heard that there is a cousins list, but since we don't have any kids we don't know any of the details. So, Chell or Karin, or I hear Lynette might be able to let you know about it.
