Mmmmmm... yummy brownie!!!!

Snow, snow, and more snow! I attempted to shovel the driveway and sidewalk this morning. It looked great, but it has been snowing all day, and it is once again covered. Won't do that again!!

When the high is 25 degrees outside.....You have to become creative!!

Alex wants a set of drums for his birthday and has been practicing on paint cans. If you listen closely you can hear him ask me if one day he can go over to Bon Jovi's house and if someday maybe can Bon Jovi come to our house so he can play the drums for him. He is so funny and LOVES to sing!

Alex the nut!!

Frosty

Snowman

The kids did a great job making their own snowman! Too cold for Momma!

The Nutcracker

Lauren and I went to see the Nutcracker in December. She loved it. It was a fun girl day!!

As you can see, she let the kids decorate their own cakes!

Lauren's b'day cake in December??

Nana had birthday cakes for Lauren and Alex after Connor's. Noooo...Nana doesn't spoil the grandkids at all!!

Swimming in December!!

The kids had a great time swimming in the lake at Gran and Pappa's lakehouse over Christmas vacation...in their underwear!!

Alex singing his favorite...Bon Jovi!!

Alex loves to sing "rock-n-roll."

Connor and Webkinz......an obsession!!!

The perfect Tree.

Nothing like winter and living above the Mason-Dixon line.

Damn dog!!!

Lauren had a dress up day at school when it just so happened to snow. Don't most princess' wear snow boots.

Santa brought Lauren an baby doll that must be taken care of. She has to make her food, feed the baby, then change the diapers once the food makes it through.

The kids score with a basketball goal from Santa. Not sure how he got it on the sleigh, but that's why he's the man.

Santa came early for the Johnson kids. In order for us to get started on our travels for the holidays, we negotiated for Santa to visit on December 22. Here the kids are poised and ready to see their surprises.

Connor turned 7 on December 22. We had his birthday party on December 14 when he had 4 friends sleep over after dinner at Red Robin.

Connor went horse back riding this week while in Birmingham. He loves spending time at the barn and being around the horses. He rode Sophie on his own and even trotted some.
