The Johnson Christmas

It was the return of the Annual Johnson Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest.  The Johnson Christmas was on December 18, so we didn't have as much time to find that perfect outfit, but I think we all did really well!  The Link family swept the contest!  We won all categories, Men's, Women's and Children, but only came one with one prize, mine. (a lovely 8x10 picture of some random family) Aaron thought Lucas deserved the prize instead of him (which we later found out, he "forgot" his prize at the Lott house) and Ainsley won for the children, but was too young for the prize, so it went to the runner up, Caleb!

 There is my mother, you never know what she is going to show up in...This year she was going for the look of Mrs. Claus he he he!

She is such a good, happy baby and it is so easy to make smile.  This video makes me smile, I hope it makes you smile too:) 

Our Christmas Tree

We picked out our Christmas tree on one NASTY day!  No it was not snowing... it was pouring rain - now doesn't that say "Christmas!"  I really wanted Ainsley to participate in picking out the tree for her first Christmas - really to just get pictures - but it was just too wet out.  She was already asleep in the truck, so that is where she stayed, while Aaron, Addysen and I dashed out to the tree lot.  We thought that we made a pretty good selection, until we got it home. It has a nice shape, but it is pretty short and fat.  Oh well, it's another family memory for us!

 My wet, wet Addysen and our fat tree!

TIMBER!!!!
