Merry Christmas!

Whew....Christmas was a crazy time for the Johnson family!  We were here, there, and back again and I'm only just now recovering enough to write this blog post.  Although busy, we had a wonderful time celebrating the holiday season with our dear family.

First up was a a trip down to Portland to see Rob's Aunt Norma and Aunt Mary as well as Spencer and Angie.

Then it was a celebration with Care, Pop-Pop, Callie, Becca, and Sydney...and Churchill too!

On Christmas Eve we had a wonderful dinner at AJ and Malia's with Grandpa Dave and Malia's mom, brother, and sister-in-law.
