The Jensen family graciously hosted Cairney Christmas for all of us in January and we had such a great time! We had amazing weather which was ideal for everyone traveling from out of town. Fabulous food & drinks were enjoyed by all, fun gifts were exchanged and wonderful memories were made. The perfect way to ring in 2012 with many exciting things in store for the Cairney's!
