Turkey hand cookies

Annika has entered the stage where holidays are beyond exciting, and begin as soon as the last one ends. Such is the case with Thanksgiving, and Annika could not wait to make these cookies. We traced her hand for the shape of the cookie and Annika meticulously decorated each one. She was very proud. This all had to occur, of course, while Axel was napping or it never would have gone so smoothly!

Prop 8 protest march

We are becoming quite the political family out here in San Francisco. On Friday night we went on our first family protest and marched through the streets of SF against the passage of Propsition 8. For those of you who do not know about this - same sex marriage has been legal here in CA, but a ban on it was put on the ballot last week and it passed - mostly because of tremendous funding from the Mormon Church. The Hansen family feels very strongly about this as we believe all people have the right to marry. Here are some of our pics with our best friends Brad and Michael who got married this past summer.

Barack Obama wins!!!!!

And the Hansen family is jumping for joy!!!!
