We fought it for long time, but we finally gave in to the TV gods- we are Lost fans. This is the final season and we just had to watch the opening episode in style, so we had a Lost party with our friends, the Tippets. If you don't watch Lost, it won't mean much to you, but we had Dharma tees, food, costumes, the whole works. I loved it.
Jack's blessing was on February 7th. Logan did a wonderful job. We decided it would be easier for everyone if we just did it in Gunnison. We did it in the 2nd ward. It was nice to have so many friends and family there. We appreciated everyone who made the effort to come.
On February 13th, as part of my Valentines gift, we went to Ogden to the Winterfest. I didn't realize what a hole Ogden was until then. It felt like Gotham City. I was just waiting for the Joker to mug me. None the less, it was a good old time. We got there at the end as things were winding down. We mostly just watched the snowmobile races. I ran to a couple stores as well.
Then on Valentines day we tried our hand at some chocolate making which turned out to be fun and delicious. It was also the rat's birthday. That's right, last year for our Valentines date we went to Petsmart and bought rats. If that doesn't say love, I don't know what does. We now have a Christenson tradition to get a rat of some sort every Valentines day. This year we gave Jack a little squeaky love rat. Jack also got to enjoy a V-day bath with rubber ducks.

The winterfest in Ogden. This is the snowmobile races. I think I see two face lurking behind that tree.
Jack all bundled up. His favorite part was breathing the cigarette smoke from all the lovely folks.
He slept most of the day. About 6 hours. Is that normal?
