Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I'm never sure in what order Blogger will post the photos so have fun looking. There are a few from Christmas day - one of each of the boys opening their 'Santa' gift - and one of the family that was here for dinner. We also added friends (and coworker of Shawn's) the Mitsos' to the mix. The house was filled with people for the holidays - a much enjoyed change to our typical holiday celebration. Sayward and Spencer spent a few days with us after Christmas since we are now within a more reasonable driving distance. After they left, we headed up to central PA for New Year's then back home with 2 of our neices in tow as their parents and brother were joining us the following day for the weekend. The Johnson home, which I have dubbed Hotel Johnson, has had its fair share of guests and will be graced with a few more this weekend. Conner's 8th birthday is this Saturday so I'm glad our friends will be here to celebrate along with us. Grady will be starting his new school this Wednesday, and he's been counting down the sleeps. No rest for the weary...

Hope everyone had a blessed and relaxing holiday break. It went way too quick for me. I have my work cut out for me these next few days as loads of laundry and all of the Christmas decorations are calling my name to be attended to.

I need to give a plug for this season's, The Bachelor. A lovely lady, Megan, whom I have known for a lifetime is one of the Bachelorettes. I just checked the website and the season premiere is tonight. Off to add it to the DVR list!!
