Ho Ho Ho!! Merry Christmas

All of the cousin's on the Johnson side. This was a first time in a LONG time that we were all in the same place at the same time! What a blessing

Getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner

What a wonderful Christmas we have had! It all started on Christmas Eve day when Luke and I went to visit Justin at work. He got to see everyone and did all of his tricks for them! He was such a good little boy. We then came home and finished wrapping gifts while watching White Christmas. After Justin got home, we went over to Grammy and Papa's house for dinner and gifts. We were sad to miss church, but really weren't sure what the weather was going to do, so we decided that the less we were on the roads the better. We had a great dinner and Luke was spoiled rotten. It was such a nice relaxing evening with family. We decided that we love the new tradition and can't wait to see the Tallys and Browns on Sunday. After we left there, we went to Mam and Grandpa's for the Johnson Christmas Eve festivities. Luke got to see a bunch of family and friends. We played a couple of rounds of Mexican Train dominos and decided it was time to go because of the weather and SANTA was coming! Got home, laid out cookies and hit the hay! We woke up to a WHITE CHRISTMAS! Holy cow! It snowed A LOT! Santa came and left Luke a wagon. Mom and Dad got him a swing and the Laugh and Learn Farm. He enjoyed all of his gifts. Justin and I then got the car loaded and Luke all bundled up, only to get stuck in the street right in front of our driveway. So 45 minutes later, Justin and got the car back in the garage and Mam and Grandpa came to the rescue in their 4-wheel drive sleigh! Thank goodness Mam got that new mini-van! After the treacherous mile drive to their house, we opened more gifts (Luke loves his new mirror stage thing!) and ate Monkey Bread. Luke decided it was time for a nap, so Justin and I took my parents van back to our house to get ready. In the afternoon we headed over to Great Uncle Bennie Joe and Great Aunt Kristin's house for a good ol' fashioned family Christmas! Everyone was there! We ate, opened more gifts (seriously, we have a very generous family!), watched Christmas movies, and played more Mexican Train Dominos! It was a great day! We couldn't have asked for a better first Christmas for Luke. We hope you all had a wonderful day and remembered what this day is all about! Thank you Lord for giving us your only son so that we may have ours!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thanksgiving day

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with lots and lots of family. Luke got to meet many new people, he went to his first movie (which he slept through), decorated his first Christmas tree, and received lots of love. All in all I would say it was a success!

6 months old!!! Happy Half Birthday Luke

I can't believe how big our son is! He is sitting up so well, eating cereal and baby foods, splashing in the bathtub, rolling his tongue, and laughing! Words can't describe how amazing parenthood has been for us.

Have a great day!

What a busy day we have had! I took a personal day today because Luke had a doctors appt. and just because, why not?! We "slept" in, went to the doctor, went to City Hall, then went shopping at the mall. Luke did a great job with his shots, he only cried for a minute. At City Hall he got to meet lots and lots of my former co-workers! It was so good to see everybody again!!! Then we went to the mall and got Luke some 6 month birthday presents. We made him a build-a-bear (don't judge, it was fun to do that again!) and bought him a book about Christmas!

We will post his 6 month baseball picture tomorrow!! Have a great day everyone!!

Sitting up!

He can sit all by himself!!
He was so proud of himself!

Big Boy!!!!

Luke is rolling over more and more! He grabs whatever he can (including Mommy's hair, earrings, necklace, neck, etc.). He smiles all the time and is just a happy baby! We are having so much fun with him and each day holds something new. We have been practicing with a spoon almost every night, and he is getting much better! Sleeping is still not real consistant, Justin and I are never sure what a night is going to hold for us, but volleyball season is almost over, so I shouldn't be as tired when we are up most of the night!

Have a great day everybody!

Luke is rolling over and grabbing things with his hands and feet! He is SO much fun! We just laugh and play and have a blast.

I took today off for his shots (which he took very bravely) and they day just flew by! I miss him so much when I am at work. Mam (my mom) is loving her days with him and Grammy and Grandpa (Justin's parents) love thier Monday nights with him! He is spoiled rotten!

Have a great day everyone!

So big!

Luke is just thriving! He has been mostly sleeping through the night and in his own room. We moved the bassinet out of our room so that we are not tempted to put him in it. Last night though he woke up at 3:30 and Mommy didn't get to go back to sleep. It was a long night.

I started back to work yesterday. It was sad, but I left without any tears. My mom (and Auntie Boo) is taking care of Luke while I am at work. I think that helps with me not being sad. I think they have enjoyed their days together so far :)

We have had a busy couple of weeks. After the baptism he spent more time with Great Grandma Agre and got to meet the Archibalds! It has been a lot of fun seeing everyone!

Auntie Jill and Uncle Sean-in-law come into town this weekend for Jill's 10 year reunion. We won't get to see them tons, but some is better than none! The next weekend Shellie and Kenz come in town! We are super excited to see them (we will miss Tim and Emer) and for them to meet Luke!

Volleyball starts next week. Let's hope he is sleeping well or I am going to be one tired lady (though it is all way worth it!)

We just love this boy!

Have a great day everyone!
