Johnson BINGO

We had a great Bingo party with the Johnson side of the family even though Pat and Dawn weren't there. 

Bear and Mary played really well together and were playing with Diamond while they ate their desserts.

Neil, Blake, and Leah.

Time for BINGO!

Barrett got a great new book as his bingo prize this year.

"Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?"

We are just getting so much snow it's CRAZY!! Bear has been out playing in it almost every single day.  He and Neil built a cute snowman earlier this week. 

He put lots of sticks in and told me it was General Grievous.

Then we came in for some hot chocolate!

Eden Eats Food

On December 21st, we gave Eden her first taste of (semi) solid food.  We gave her baby oatmeal mixed with breastmilk and I think she liked it. 

Well, at first she was a little weirded out and confused

But then she grabbed that spoon and would hardly let me take it away to get another bite!

My Christmas Present

My very thoughtful husband gave me the best Christmas present this year!  He sent me to a hotel for a night to get some sleep (which is EXACTLY what I wanted!)

Neil and the kids came with me to the hotel for a couple hours.

I thought Bear would have fun jumping on the bed and swimming.

We went down to the pool but it was a fail.  The pool was ICE cold and the hot tub was WAY too hot! It was still fun to hang out there for a bit though.  Plus Eden's swimsuit is ridiculously adorable!

After the pool we went to dinner at Red Lobster (my pick!) and then I came back to the hotel alone to sleep.  I was almost too excited to sleep!

I thought about taking a sleeping pill, but then I remembered that I really haven't slept a full night in almost a year, so I didn't really think I'd need it!  I slept from about 10-9 and it was pretty fantastic!

The next morning, they came and got me for breakfast at Rooster's.

AND THEN, I went over to Sego Lily Day Spa and got a 90 minute massage that was over way too soon!  It was heavenly.

What a guy! Later in the day we were just talking about things and I was asking him if he thought we would've still gotten married if this happened or that happened, ya know, just making up hypothetical situations. His response was that he didn't think anything else was written for us, that we would've gotten married no matter what. He's such a sweet, romantic man❤️

"Here's Some Money, Go See A Star War" -Lucille Bluth

The new Star Wars came out last Friday but we were lucky enough to go see it on Thursday for free!~ My dad's colleague, Dennis DeDecker rented out a theater and invited his dentist friends and their families.  

There were 9 or 10 of us from our family that got to go, and we had the best seats in the house!

I took this picture from Berrie's instagram because you can't really see them in the ^above^ picture.

Getting Ready for Christmas

We got the train set up around the tree.

I did a bit of wrapping by the tree the other day because it just smells so good!

Some cuddles from Barrett.

Plus all the SNOW❄️

These two love each other so much!

The Sunday before church.

Bear was doing evil looks in some of the pictures but I still like them :)

Bear even sang in sacrament meeting, which I sadly missed because even though we were all ready to go in time (a miracle), I had to put Eden down for a nap and she slept longer than I expected.  At least Neil got this cute picture!

Christmas jammies

And lots of family time.

Unrelated but Eden likes to eat her toes and it's adorable...

Merry Christmas 2015

This year for our Christmas cards, I made 2 sets and I almost made 3 sets just because I have so much fun making cards!

I always use Shutterfly for my cards but they're kind of expensive and it adds up quickly so I thought I'd try another website this year.

I made this first card at Picaboo and it was definitely cheaper but I think they still turned out cute.

And then because I can't resist Shutterfly for some reason, I made another set of cards on their website. The gold writing is gold foil and I'm in love with it.

I had the good idea to add a mini birth announcement to the back of this one for those people who I didn't end up sending her actual beautiful birth announcement to.  I wish I would've thought of doing this on my first set of cards.  Oh well!

After I had the second set printed, I wished I had done different pictures on each set just because we had so many good pictures to choose from.  I liked that this picture was different though as we weren't looking at the camera like you usually would. 

Barrett's Christmas Program

Bear had his preschool christmas program and it was very cute and short (perfect!)

They only sang 4 or 5 songs.

And then they went outside to break a piñata.  Bear got to go first and then after everyone else had a turn, he got to go again and he broke the piñata.
