Happy Hair, Tea Party and finally some documented smiles

We got through January in the Pacific Northwest in the Jensen household, which is always a milestone. 6 more weeks until spring, whoohoo!

We've been amusing ourselves by letting Elizabeth cook, hosting her first tea party and of course, messing with her hair.

Also please note that she is actually smiling on a couple of these photos. She doesn't really like cameras, other than to toss them around, so this is a big deal!

And Happy Chinese New Year to all! It's the Year of the Rat, where the Rat is associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities. Yow.

As a first hand illustration - Nancy is a Metal Rat - no, not the head banger kind, the Wu xing kind, where the Primal Spirit is represented by a White Tiger. I don't even know what that means, but rwor.
