Riverwalk at Christmastime

A few days ago, we took the girls down to the Riverwalk. It was so cold and so beautiful. Bella loved all the lights and Miranda (and Bella, too) had a blast on the river barge.
Here's me and my girls. Freezing our booties off!


Here are two out of three of my favorite people in the whole world!


The lights were so pretty. I would like them to come do this to my trees!

Christmas Eve

This is a picture of just some of the people that came for the Johnson Christmas party. This is the first year that we have hosted it. We really had a good time. I love hangin' around my family.


Here are two of my babies.


This is my beautiful family. I love them so much!

Christmas (very early) morning

Well, I am writing this at 2:30 a.m. on Christmas morning. I have had four hours of sleep in the last two days. Man, this can be tough. I am done wrapping and cleaning, however, Rick and his sister, Kathy, are still wrapping on my bed, so I figured since I can't go to bed yet...then I will post a blog with pictures of what my house looks like right now.



We are very blessed to have Rick's oldest sister and her family staying with us for the holiday. They stayed last night and again tonight. And thankfully, Susy Q was able to come home for the holidays.
Miranda is among the adult "believers" now. So, she helped add embellishments to the gifts. She was so thrilled. She just went to bed about 30 minutes ago. We are so tired...but having so much fun.
We are looking forward to tomorrow when we will be checking into the Radisson Resort near SeaWorld. This has become a Williamson tradition for the past three years. It is a fun get away. So looking forward to a jacuzzi hot tub.

Rick's Art show

Ok..my stupic photo uploader is acting up. So, I couldn't put all the pictures up here that I wanted to. But, something is better than nothing, right? Here are a few pics of some of Rick's work that he submitted into an art show this past month. Isn't he GREAT?!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Our weekend of fun.

Miranda was invited to see THE BEE MOVIE for a classmates birthday party. They let me and Bella stay....it was fun. I thought it was funny that the huge theater only had a couple kids in it. More showed up later...I just thought it was a good photo op.

We went to Nikki's birthday party on Saturday, and Bella hadn't had a nap and she was REALLY cranky. Emily saved us by giving her a pair of butterfly wings. She instantly cheered up and was happy (for a little while at least!)

Molly got a pair also. They had so much fun with the wings and they were the cutest things ever! Looks of pure joy!

They had a blow up bouncy at the party. Bella was bouncing down the slide with Karlie and Hayley. I swear she was way too close to flipping off and breaking her neck. She made it just fine, though...just a paranoid mom.

Miranda had a great time, too. She loved the "miner" lights someone let her wear. She wore it all night.

Christmas is here.

We are ready for Christmas in our household. Now hold on...don't think I'm crazy or anything. We hosted a photo session for family pictures at our house, with Santa. So, we HAD to have decorations up...darn it...you know how we hate Christmas decorations! :( Ya right! We love it! :)

Here is my honey and I. Out having fun on a date. Love him!
