My Uncle Jim & Aunt Sue ( my mom's brother) have thrown a Christmas Party every year since I've been in Utah (I think there's always been a Christmas Party, but I didn't live here...)
This was Dan & Bridgette's first time partying with the Johnsons... Here are some photos of the crazy night:
My Grandma Johnson & Bridgette (who was overwhelmed by all the new friends!)
My Grandma teaching the little ones about the true meaning of all the Christmas symbols.
Santa (Uncle Dwayne) Claus took Christmas Orders. Here is Daphne saying she wants a kitty. Good luck Daph !
Here's Phil Phil with Santa (Phil spilled hot chocolate on his shirt & tried to disguise his accident by rolling his shirt up to his chin... he ALMOST got away with it!)
Bonnie's little Chloe & Adam. Chloe doesn't trust the man in red, so London had to supervise, just in case Santa tried to look at her wrong.
Bridgette thinking, "Hmmm, this guy is alright. Anyone who just hands over candy is ok in my book."
Now she's not so sure, "one move towards my candy cane & you're gonna get it!"I'm so glad I got to attend the party this year. It's always so great to see my grandparents! They always sent the sweetest Christmas presents to my family when we were little. I always looked forward to see what grandma would send & how it was wrapped (she had the ZCMI people wrap them I think.) I love my grandparents!
It was also fun to see my cousins and all their cute little babies. I can't believe how fast time flies & how quickly all these little ones grow!
I am so thankful for this time of year where we can take a step back & realize that this is what it's all about. I may not get a visit from Santa, but I am sure going to throw/ attend as many family & friend get-togethers as possible! I love being around my family & don't realize how much I miss seeing them until a week/month/year goes by & I see them and get sad that I don't see them more often!
