I'm dreaming of a white Christmas was a reality here in Fort Wayne this year as we had a full gamut of weather this past week or so including Christmas day. It started out with snow then freezing rain then colder than normal temps then more freezing rain lots of it with wind coating everything with an inch or so of ice, then snow , sleet, thunder, lightning, warner temps, lots of rain melting all the ice and snow. Today it was cold and windy again.
We had a Christmas brunch with mom Wesche, Mike, Heidi, Katrina and Izzy, it was nice.
Yesterday we went to a wedding and reception of a relative of Annette's over in Ohio, it was lots of fun we even danced one slow dance together. Than we drove home in the rain and fog.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, Thanks Audra for the pictures and Christmas letter, it would be real nice if we could get more of you to write on a regular basses.
Here's wishing you all a happy new year,
Love to all,
Wyl

Merry Christmas from the Jensen's
I am so bad about Christmas Letters that I only got a handful actually mailed..... So for all of our lovely friends and family her is our "online" Christmas greetings:
Merry Christmas 2008
~
Between camping trips, hunting adventures, the Elders quorum presidency and his job as the Sales Manager at Yost Aaron kept busy this year. Porter adores his dad and loves to wrestle and feed the dog with him every night.
We feel very blessed that Audra has the opportunity to stay home with Porter, a job she absolutely loves! Last year she started designing graphics for digital scrapbooking and was hired this year to design for an online store. That and Porter have kept her busy but she also found time for lots of canning and her church callings doing the ward bulletin, newsletters and ward website.
Porter has grown so much the year & it has been so much fun to watch him learn and all those fun ‘firsts’. He is a very loving child and more than happy to give out kisses and loves. He loves being outside and adores our cat whom he calls “ickles” He loves to cuddle up on a your lap with a book playing fetch with the dog, and hauling his toys around in his ‘CAT’ dump truck. Porter is definitely the light of our lives & always keeps us busy & smiling

| Dear Family; Well here we are right in the middle of the Christmas season isn't it great! Annette has the house all decorated, candle lights in most of the windows, tree is up and decorated standing on the sofa table in the bay windows, it's lovely. Mike, Heidi, Katrina and Izzy were over on Saturday to spend some time with us. Katrina was a great help to grandma in decorating. Mike, Heidi and Izzy are in Kansas City for three weeks or so for a job Mike is doing there. We miss them but they call frequently so talk with them and get to talk to Izzy and hear her cute noises. Their cat, Winkee is staying with us till they get back, she has stayed with us before, but this time she is much more sociable. My hope is that more of you will write on a regular basis, that's how we will get to know each other better and grow closer, so please write, thanks. Thanks Geno for your e-mail last week, and yours to Dena, they were both appreciated and enjoyed. Geno I will get you June's phone # and address, you will enjoy her and she you and your family. I have made all addresses visible this time so everyone can update their address books, I did hear from Frank this week and it was wonderful, here is some links to photos he sent hope you enjoy them. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fwsharp/sets/72157610655672725/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/gwsharp/ These Frank sent are of George and his family.

| Hi Family, We had a great Turkey Day! My wife's Mother and Father ( Lori & Wayne Hubbard) came to Casper to have Turkey Day with us.We also went out to see what "Black Friday" was all about and it was crazy. I think we will try it again. Carissa and Lori had fun they went crazy I never have seen them get up at 4am. It was quite a scene. To top off the day the Mighty HuSkerS... had some BUFFALO for Turkey Day! YUM. I enjoyed it....was a little scared for a min...but the 57 yard Field goal made everything A..OK! I love the feeling I get when I watch the Huskers win. I truly bleed RED blood....Husker RED blood. Now for some other business. I have decided to leave my place of employment and go to work for a place called Halliburton's. I did work at Stewart & Stevenson LLC in the Parts Department. I will be doing something a lot different but excited for the change. We'll that's all I have for now. Love you all Geno,Carissa, Marissa, & Tristan |

Dear Family;
The Pictures Below are from Shelley.
Welcome Shelly I'm thankful to hear from you, you have beautiful children and grandchildren, thanks for the pictures, now how about one of you. Please invite your sisters to join us.
I hope we will keep reaching out to our other family members so they will join us also.
Hope you all had a good thanksgiving, we did. Our week went something like this, Sunday we attended church, Annette played the organ for Sacrament meeting, interpreted for the deaf and helped with young woman's organization, I teach gospel doctrine class and attended Sacrament and priesthood meeting.
I like to Position myself near the entrance to the chapel so I can welcome as many people as possible by shaking their hands as they come into the chapel, I especially enjoy shaking hands with the children and teenagers, many of them now make it a point to come shake my hand every Sunday and are disappointed if I'm not there.
Monday we served at the library for 10 hours scanning family history books and preparing them to be put online for genealogy research.
Tuesday we were at home, I caught up on some things on the Internet and Annette baked pies, cake, fudge, and bread in preparation for thanksgiving. Wednesday, 8 hours at the library.
Thanksgiving day we spent at Annette's mothers home here in Fort Wayne with her sister , Beth, friend , Nena, brother John, and his two children Rose and Ben. Had a wonderful turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and good company.
Friday Annette, Heidi, our daughter, and granddaughters Katrina and Izzy went shopping on what they were calling "Black Friday" and upon coming home said, "That was fun but we"re not doing that again"
Saturday was Annette's Aunt Bearny's 70 birthday, her kids, all grown, had a party for her so we spent part of that day with more family. Wonderful week.
What did you all do for Thanksgiving? We all need to open up and communicate more freely, that what I'm encouraging each of you to do!
I have a wonderful screensaver program, free, called second nature that I can add my own pictures to so I want to do a family one with all your pictures so I'm collecting.
Well that's all folks
Love to all,
Wyl
