Turning Ten

Today our miracle baby turned ten!  Here are ten things to know about her:

1.  Chocolate can always motivate her.  A few chocolate chips are magical.  The fun-size candy bar works wonders.
2.  She loves to watch movies.  The Toy Story movies used to be her favorite, then Mega Mind, now she says it's Sleeping Beauty.


3.  She loves piggies.  And pandas.  Last year she was a pig for Halloween; this year she's a panda.
4.  She loves to read comics and comic books.  I had to hide all the comic books in the house because that was all she was reading.


5.  She loves anything that is very soft and fuzzy, like my pajama pants.
6.  She loves pizza with cheese and mushrooms.


7.  She tries really hard in school even when it's hard for her.
8.  She is working on drinking all her fluids every day--76 ounces now.


9.  We are enjoying reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder books together--right now it's The Long Winter.
10. She loves to make cards for people.  Recently she made me a little coupon book that was so sweet.  She has a tender heart and certain songs make her cry as well as sad scenes in movies.


We're so grateful that she is still with us.

2024 Hansen Family Reunion, Wednesday

Recently we had another Hansen Family Reunion at Bear Lake. We've been having these destination reunions since 2008. There were about 70 of us in attendance. Bruce and Michelle organized the activities and did a good job. I enjoyed myself! Hopefully lots of other people did too. We showed up on Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed a taco salad dinner, served by Neil and Kristie's family. We also worked on two mixer games:  a word search with the names of all 100 Hansen family members as well as a Bingo card that involved finding people with different attributes like recent high school graduation, birthdays in certain months, etc. The word search was definitely the most popular. Also popular was playing Nine-Square and Sandy Pickle (a cross between pickle ball and badminton). Thys and Katrina might have won! After dinner, we had an FHE activity/lesson. Liz had made a book with stories of the first ancestors to join the church. She had selected different stories for us to act out in g...
