Wow!!! What a whirlwind of Holiday cheer. We partied and partied and it was way fun. And, the best part, we all survived!!!
We started on the 19th with a slumber party at our house. All the kids were there and we had lots and lots of good food. We went to the ward dinner and Santa, then to our house and played until 2:00 a.m. The next morning we got up and had a huge breakfast, almost anything you would have wanted. John even cooked some of it out on the campchef outside. It was pretty crazy. After that, the kids did their gift exchange and we played all the rest of the day. That night we went to the Orr Christmas party with about 120 other people. There was over 140 of us there. We ate, did karaoke, had Santa and had a super great time.
On Sunday, we went to the cemetery and then came back to my house for soups, rolls, relishes and desserts. There was about 30-40 people for that.
Then, on Christmas eve we went to Tif's and ate, made gingerbread houses, and played games. We just about didn't get to bed on time for Santa. We were tracking him on the computer and he was almost to Idaho before we left. He might have missed the Johnson kids if they hadn't hurried and got into bed. Christmas day was pretty laid back but full of excitement and fun. We were until noon opening our presents and then we ate and just kicked back enjoying the day. The kids were all so excited and loved everything they got. John and I were very spoiled by our kids. Thanks so much for everything kids. You are all awesome!!!! After Christmas Heather and Koby stayed for 3 more days. We went out to Applebees and watched movies and just enjoyed being together. On Sunday, everyone was returning home in the crappy weather. Thank heavens they are all home now and safe. We had a wonderful holiday season and it was so fun with all of the family. Thanks to all of you for making it so great.
