SNOW!

We LOVE snow.  And this year...Jace LOVES it too!

 

 

Jace and I started to make a snowman.  And then Jed got involved...

 

 

Christmas Day....

Jace FINALLY got the game, "Pop the Pig" that he has been talking about for 2 years...

 

 

Connor was very excited to receive her first Cabbage Patch doll!  (Luckily she had Jace to help her open gifts!)

 



 

Lots of Pink!

 

Jace got a tent!  That was his favorite place to take naps for the next couple days!

 

Connor wore herself out watching Jace open all those gifts!

 

We always spend Christmas Dad at Grandma and Grandpa "J's" aka Jerry and Janie's.

 

Seems like Jace is always helping someone open a present...

 

This little gal just gets worn out!

 

The Great Grandparenst--George and Erma Johnson and Lucille Wilke

 

Guess who is the kindergarten teacher?  This girl!

Christmas Day at Home...

Just a couple pictures...

 

 

More to come!

A little more Christmas....

I just love their different facial expressions....

 

 

Where's Jace?

 

Connor's all settled in!

 

This scooter from Uncle Carl and Aunt Jena has been a definite hit--as long as we have let him keep it in the house!  It works really well on the wood floor, we have just enough room for him to drive it around.

 

Connor enjoyed just hanging out!

 

We (Jed and I) made this garden stone with Connor's footprint and Jace's hand and footprint....by the time we got a footprint off Connor we didn't want to attempt the handprint...but it turned out really good!

 

We should have saved this one for last...once he opened this combine from Uncle Jay and Aunt Morgan all he wanted was for someone to open up his combine! And in the picture above--he got a truck to go with it from Grandma and Grandpa!

 

See?  Finally had to give in and just get it out of the box.

The whole gang again--in almost matching coats!  Jed and I got ski-coats for Christmas, and everyone else got a carhartt coat!  Woohoo!

Johnson Christmas

Looks like Aunt Morgan is about to put Connor to sleep...

 

This hat was a gift to Jace from Uncle Jay and Aunt Morgan....sure does look good on Grandpa J!

 

 

Great-Grandma Erma and Great-Grandpa George with their great-grandkids: Mark Johnson (son of Brian and Allie), about 7 months I think, Connor (2 1/2 months in this picture) and Jace (3 1/2 years).
