Christmas 09

Here's the official Christmas day photos. And I'm pretty sure the last post for 2009...

Happy Holidays

12 Years Old

We celebrated Elle's 12th birthday today. The young women in the ward came by and decorated out front door then had Elle answer it. We then went to her school for the Christmas chorus program. Here's some photos...














Elle, Mom and Saige after the program.


Millissa made some really good cookies, chocolate mint and snickerdoodles.

The Tree

We broke down and bought a fake tree and I already love it!

When we got it out of the box it didn't really look like a tree until Millissa put her magic touch on it. We let Saige and Elle decorate the 9 ft pine. Me, I just threw them up and if they stuck, they were good.

Thanksgiving 09

Thankgiving ended up being a little get together this year. Our family, Gramma Johnson (Mom) and Brett and Julie Lafferre (neighbors). We had GREAT food, played some video games and then ate more... pretty lo-key...
