Christmas Recap

In keeping with tradition, Mom slept over on Christmas Eve. Carlee, Miguel and Champ came for breakfast and then we opened presents. Carlee and Miguel surprised me with a new flat screen, DTV to replace the old analog TV in the kitchen. I am now ready for high definition on February 17th!!
Champ opened his own present, chewy bones, of course. What a dog!!
Later in the afternoon we met at Grandma Boots' house to exchange gifts and eat. We were joined by Marshall, Ramses, Moccah and Celeste along with Rob, Kris, Steph, Carlee, Miguel and Arlie.
On December 27th we attended the Johnson Family Christmas Party. We enjoyed a pot luck dinner, games and the traditional surprise talent.
This year the talent was provided by anyone who had ever played an instrument and could still remember how to sight read in the key of C. I didn't have too much trouble with 'Joy to the World' on the kazoo but I may have missed a few chords on my ukulele. We were perfect at making a lot of noise and having a good time. Thanks, Lizzie, for being a great photographer!

I am glad one of your grandkids came to visit on Christmas! Annika is disappointed that your house still has snow.
