Johnson Family Christmas Party

Last night we had the annual Johnson Family Christmas Party at Bon-bon and Pa's house. We had a really great time! There was tons of GREAT food(too much actually), fun games, funny slides from when we were kids and most importantly Santa made an appearance! It was so fun to see the kids faces light up as he came into the room! It's amazing how fast Santa (usually) can put a smile on a kid's face. He spent time teasing with the kids and brought them some awesome presents. They were thrilled with them. Way to go Santa!
Another really great thing about the party is that we all got to be there together as a family! We decided that we would take Alex with us. He has been doing great, and our family is wonderful about understanding his needs. I know that they all wanted to hold him, and I really wish we could pass him around, but they gave him the space he needed to hopefully avoid the passing of any germs. Luckily, everyone is healthy and that was a huge help too! We have such a great family who takes the time to think of Alex's well being. Thank you to all of you! We were so happy to be there together!
There were so many pictures from the party, and it's hard to pick which ones to put on, so I just did a slideshow. It will take a minute, because I think there's about 40 pics. Thank you to Bon-bon and Pa for the great party! We love you!

Oh and by the way, yes, those are pantyhose we are sticking on our head. You stuff them with balloons and make them "reindeer antlers". Way to go Ryan for being the best one at stuffing nylons (don't worry, firing your gun a few times will release enough testosterone to cancel that out!).
I just wanted to include this picture all by itself. It typically takes an act of congress to get my dad to smile for a picture, so I thought I would post it. Caught ya!
