Christmas.
The Holidays have been fun this year. And crazy, what with having a new little one to tote around! I can't wait for school to start again!!! The girls are kind of driving me crazy. And the weather has been so yucky that we can't really go anywhere. For Christmas Eve Joe and Sherrie came up and ate dinner with us and let the girls open the gifts they had for them. It was so peaceful and we really had a good time. Christmas day my family came to eat dinner and stay with us for a couple of days. Oh and I have some awesome news! Andy is getting married!! We are so excited for Him! He and Lisa came by Christmas day to visit and show us Her ring. Which I love! They are so cute together and our girls love Her to pieces already. They are getting married this spring. I guess I better stop scarfing down Holiday treats and try to lose the baby fat. Which seems to have expanded in the last few weeks. I don't want to look all pudgy in the wedding photos. Oh and my wonderful Mom babysat while JR and I went to see Avatar! It was so so so awesome! I want to go again. I got so into it that one part where there is a fight scene I actually yelled out "No! Turn around!" It took me a minute to realize I had yelled out loud but nobody seemed to have noticed. I guess I wasn't the only one that was totally engrossed! Oh and by the way our kids woke up at 4 Christmas morning!!! Flippin 4 in the morning!!!! Can anyone beat that!

Grandma's Tile Table
Tile Table
When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
