Grandma Hansen visit to WI

Hi Family

I have been having a great time in WI.  First thing we met Britney and Justin at the temple in Ill.  That was one of the nicest things I have done in a long time.  I acted as Britney's Grandmother for her sealing to her parents.  That was very sweet.  Afterward we went to supper.  It was great.

Pam and I also ran away and went for lunch and then visited 10 chimneys museum.  That was so interesting in a different way. I thought it was so nice of Pam to take time out to have a special day with me,

It was fun to be in on the anticipation of the new baby, and I am looking forward to getting to see him.  Forrest and the boys came for fried chicken and gravie tonight.  It is always fun to spend time with the boys.  They were at church also and I enjoyed the linger longer

Your Dad has put together a book of poems my mother, Elsie had written years ago.  He has spent a lot of time working on it and even got it printed.  I would never have been able to get it printed if it had not been for all his work.  Your mom has been so patient with all the time he spent on it.
  I am looking forward to seeing the rest of you for T-Day.

Love Grandma Hansen

Bedtime Stories

I wasn't feeling so hot last night so I asked Justin if he could take care of Ethan's bath and bedtime story.  I kept hearing this creepy voice and knew I needed to grab the video camera :)  Enjoy!  ~Britt

Mom and Dad's St. Louis Trip

Hey everybody.  Here are some pics from our St. Louis Trip.  We had a great time.  They were having the Taste of St. Louis near our hotel while we were there.  We had real alligator rangoon with a spicy sauce.  Different but good.  The St. Louis ribs and barbeque were also great.  Grandma P managed to survive the trip to the top of the Arch.  Pretty white knuckled by the time she got up there.  The first thing she said when we got down was "well, I can take that off my bucket list".  Enjoy the pics. The first few taken at night are from us walking thru a small park located between the convention center and our hotel.   Love Dad

I saw Grandma kissin--a rabbit?  In the same park

Grandpa finds a big enough rabbit to make an "8 second"  ride.

It was a fun trip.  I would go back again.  Love Dad
