Merry Christmas To All!!

JOHNSON CHRISTMAS PARTY
Merry Merry Christmas! Yay! I had such a fun week! :o) Last Sat we went to my Grandma Johnsons house (Dads mom) and had our christmas get-together with that side of the family. We don't get to see my cousins and their kids that much so it was good to see them all! Plus - my favorite is my Aunt Julie and Uncle Dana (my grandma lives in their basement- anyways) they have two golden retriever puppies. . . well they are puppies but they're a year old so they are actually pretty gigantic, we have so much fun playing with them. (Probably cuz me, mike, ky, jo and celelste are the only ones there that don't have kids!! :o)



CHRISTMAS EVE
Christmas Eve we just get together at my parents house to eat, watch 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' (kyles fav) and play games. Its usually just my family and my mom's sister, Chris's family.

Tate Kyle and Cole

And of coarse Roxy. . .




PAJAMA TIME
The past two years me and mike have slept over at my parents on Christmas eve- last year because Jordan was FINALLY back from his mish and this year because next Christmas Kyle will be on his mission. So one of our family traditions is one Christmas Eve we get to open one present and its always PJ's!! :o) The boys always match too- it's cute.


My mom bought mine from VS (and i love them- they have the Victorias Secret dog on the checkers so of coarse i do!!) and the boys' pants had elk heads one them- she tried to make them some what manly :o) ha!

I know I know- we love our dogs so here they are again- but there are no children in the family so someone has to entertain. . . yes barkley knows how to open presents. (Roxys too wussy)

My poor hubby has such sensitive eyes when it comes to the flash :o) but he's a good sport and puts up with all the pictures anyways :o) LOVE YOU!

This pic of ky is the best- my parents surprised him with a trip to San Diego this weekend to see a Chargers game (he's their #1 fan) and since he'll be leaving this fall for his mission, my parents wanted to do something really cool for him. That is his "shocked" face- it took him about 3 minutes to really realize what it was. My dad, Ky and Jo are leaving this sat (yeah- in two days) and coming back monday. The games Sunday and they are staying in the HardRock Hotel. . . it's supposed to be a big game too- he was completely speechless, it was very cute. :o)

Roxy is my chunky monkey- she's spoiled so she gets TOO MANY treats :o)



My mom also made Kyle a mini scrapbook of all his football years- it was amazing! She has such an awesome talent! I wish i could post it some how and show it off!

BREAKFAST AT GRANDMA JO'S


After all the present opening we go to my Grandmas for a giant, yummy breakfast and more presents :o)

My Grandma's husband, Kyle, actually had a 'heart attack' last sunday so we were just glad he was well and able to be with us today! (It wasn't an actual 'heart attack'- his heart just stopped beating in the middle of church! good thing he was sitting next to a retired EMT who gave him CPR and saved him). It was a perfect Christmas!!
