After a long respite...

Wow.  It has been a while since I have blogged.  So let me try to make it up one chapter at a time.

The Aune Christmas here was mid January.  All were healthy and we had 4 days of sharing, love, and a Seattle vs Atlanta (Ben and Penny) playoff game.

Jensen wanted Uncle Ben to know that Jensen was in "Beast Mode".

Ben and the boys reading books.

It has been a good year.....apparently.

The first hat for the "first".

Jane, as the only "grand" daughter usually gets some really grand clothes from Ben and Penny.

Jane and Penny love games.

Seahawks score.  Can we win vs Atlanta?

Mexican train after the game.

The next eve at Kari's and Eric's.

Girl time.  Early morning after sleepover, Jane combing Penny's hair.

It was truly a different atmosphere to meet mid January but it afforded family, time, experience and wonderful memories.  Thus it exhibited the traits of Christmas.
