Merry Christmas Everyone. Here is a recap of the last few days.
On Friday Kristine and I went out with the kids and did our last minute Christmas shopping. Keegan was the typical guy, after about three stores, he asked if we could go home, he said we had been to "way too many stores". I was able to find matching red shirts and so I made the kids pose for pictures.
The best picture I could get off all three of them
Kaitlin had to be bribed for this picture
Keegan had to pose with the three wise men
and Rylee just hanging out as usual

On Saturday, I got ready for Rod's family to come into town. Rod was busy at the Veags bowl in Las Vegas (BYU won, by a miracle blocked field goal) while we had a little Johnson family get together at our house. We had ham and potatoes and since Grandma Johnson decided to get a hotel room and her hotel had a swimming pool, we took 8 kids swimming for about two hours. It was a lot of fun. The 1 picture I got of our little party!

On Sunday, Rod's brother, Barry blessed his little boy Andrew. It was a sweet blessing and afterwards, we had 45 people here at the house for sandwiches, it all went very smoothly. Unfortunatly I didn't take any pictures.

On Sunday night we followed Eric and Julie to their hotel in downtown SLC and went and saw the lights at Temple Square. The kids also took a midnight dip into the pool. Keegan didn't have his floaties, but learned real quick how to swim without them. It was fun seeing him all excited as he learned how to stay afloat on his own.The SLC Temple

On Monday, we had Kristine and Shannon and their families over for a few hours. We ate some, played foosball (Shannon and Adam kicked all of our booties), and had the kids act out the nativity.

We woke up at 5:30am on Christmas morning to Kaitlin coughing and then puking in our bed. We washed our sheets and blankets and then camped out in the front room until 9 am when the kids really woke up to open up Christmas presents. Santa was very generous this year as was everyone else who gave our family gifts and we thank you all.

We have been relaxing the last few days as the kids play with all their new toys. We also went to TMSQ again yesterday and attended the children's museum section at the family history museum, If you live in Utah you really should check it out, it was a lot of fun.
