we're thankful for our weekend with the johnson families. the theme this year was sports. a very integral part of this family & every family gathering. poppa promised 'cagefighting' but really, a family dance was in order! what a sweet surprise! thanks so much to friend dh for the polka, waltz, and christmas music! we were all enthralled & loved having a family dance. we sang happy birthday to kj & uncle m as well. then the true competition got underway to discover the master archers of the family... it is a testament to my mother-in-law's love of play that she allows such an event to happen in her living room. the winners? i don't want to brag, so we'll move on with the weekend recap. ;) we kept up the tradition of caroling together & reading the story of jesus birth, followed by gift-giving and a swedish meatball dinner. we put on our christmas finest & filled up a pew at church. and after all that, my in-laws managed to host the extended family for the annual christmas gathering. wow! how full of fun and blessings.
we were having so much fun that kj, lj & i decided to stay an extra couple of days! we just had to visit great-aunt jr & great-uncle dr at their breezy point 'cabin,' go for a swim, & make a pinecone wreath. not to mention play play play with nanna & poppa. ;) thanks for having us!
