Christmas gets more and more exciting as the kids get older and more interested in it all. From Katelyn's version of "Away in a Manger" to insisting that we hold hands around the Christmas tree at least once a day singing Ahoo Doray (that song the Who's sing in The Grinch)...it was all so fun!
Katelyn and Luke ready to go see Santa! Katelyn was excited to tell Santa that she wanted "presents" for Christmas...
...it didn't quite go as planned.
Watching Christmas movies together (in the laundry basket, of course)
Luke, Katelyn, and Sydney ready to go on a wagon ride around Grammie's neighborhood to see all the Christmas lights.
Enjoying some hot chocolate on the ride.
Christmas Eve Service
Making cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve
Everyone got new PJs
Grammie too! When trying to get a group shot, the camera kept taking pictures, so we started being silly.
Katelyn loves to put Tucker to bed...she makes sure he is very warm.
Christmas morning: pure excitement!!
Testing out the new scooter!
Snowman pancakes!! The "snow" was the best part.
The day after Christmas we headed out to Henderson to see Nana, Papa, Kiki, Emily, and Charlie. We had a great time and the kids loved being together.
The girls in their Christmas PJs
The gang
Three generations of Johnson boys!
We spent New Years at a friend's house and thought we would have to come home around 9ish due to melt-downs, but we were totally shocked, the kids held out strong all the way until midnight! They played, ate, and at midnight Katelyn had her first taste of cotton candy and sparkling cider (Luke too, he hated it!)
And our New Year's Day tradition: donuts and the Rose Parade!
Happy New Year everyone!!
