Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Buddies for life! Playing in the back yard. It was chilly but they didn't care.


First Bubble bath ever. Ammon was freaking out when I put them in. He was trying to take the bubbles off his hand and arms and kept getting more on. A few minutes after the picture they were both screaming!
Have you ever seen so many presents! I couldn't believe it! The room looked very magical with the lights turned off and the Christmas tree shinning.
Christmas Eve dinner was Hawaiian haystackes and sparkling cider. It was delicious!
Delicious pumpkin cookies. They stacked these up like a cake and served them to me for my birthday. Thank you everyone for making my birthday special! I got lots of kitchen items from mom (which I really needed), some homemade slippers from Tanya (which are so warm and comfy) and my grandmas funnel (wahoo! I have never had a funnel).


The Johnson family had an awesome Christmas this year. We spent it in Spokane Washington with my family in Tanya and Ryan's new home. It is a beautiful place and there was plenty of room for everyone. Chilly but beautiful! Our road trip up and back were gorgeous with clear roads the entire way and no snow storms. We were very blessed! We were showered with gifts and spoiled by Santa Claus! We played the Wii and had an Iron Chef competition, took pictures of screaming children in their Christmas attire and had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner. We also got to take a special package to a family and got up at 4:30 a.m. to open presents so that Ryan could go to work at 5. The one thing we missed out on was doing the Nativity scene. It would have been so fun with the 4 kids! Unfortunately Krista and Jaylie bug had to leave early Christmas morning but we enjoyed seeing them. Skeeter and Buzz had a great time playing together and became real good buddies. They even played together in nursery on Sunday. Calvin learned to say Ammon and taught Ammon to say MoMa. We had a great time and feel so very blessed! Auntie Tessa was the biggest help with the kids and I was so grateful she was there to help! She took Alivia for me one evening and let me sleep until 6 a.m.! It was the best present I could have received. Although I love my babies and love holding them all night long, I also love to sleep!!!!
We are looking forward to the blessings of a New Year and can't wait to accomplish our goals. Thank you to all of our friends and family members for blessing our lives and for supporting us in all we do. We are so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice for us!
