Happy New Year!
Happy New Year all you blog followers!
Adam and I had a great New Years Eve. We moved our bed into the living room for a sleep over. We ate take out Indian food and homemade ice cream (from Adam's Christmas present). Yum! Yum! And more Yum!
Then we laid in our bed and watched Sherlock Holmes while we waited for the ball to drop. We kissed each other at midnight and fell fast asleep.

Just for the Heck of It!
These pictures didn't really fit into my last post, but let's face it, if I didn't put them up, I would be really depriving you!
The End of the World
TOP 12 JOHNSON HAPPENING SINCE THE WORLD DIDN'T END:
(In no particular order)
12. Skyping with Nora, Savanna, and Joe on Christmas and watching Nora open her very first Christmas presents. She seemed a little confused, but she really liked the wrapping paper.
11. Playing glow in the dark dodge ball with Adam's family.
10. Seeing our very own Elf on the Shelf- Samuel
9. Discussing the Christmas story with Riley, who is almost 4. It was so sweet to hear her talk about baby Jesus. Did you know that Mary was inside a camel's tummy? And did you know that when Jesus was born the angels sang the ABC's?
8. Watching the children in Adam's family reenact the nativity. It was priceless when Hailey, the wise man, tried to steal baby Jesus from Riley, Mary.
The Angels
Mary and Baby Jesus
Joseph
Shepherd Sam
7. Visiting the Christmas displays at the Museum of Idaho.
6. Seeing the live nativity at the Calvary Chapel.
5. Enjoying the musical Christmas lights in my parent's neighborhood
4. Watching Wreck It Ralph with my family. Locklynn was so good during the whole movie.
3. Visiting with our friends who were home for the holidays from Arkansas.
2. Playing Curses with family.
It was a lot of fun. At one point my mom had to act like a hairy gorilla every time she talked. My dad had several curses where he couldn't bend his elbows, he had to act like he didn't have fingers, and he had to use sign language when he talked!
1. Adam passed his first semester of graduate school... and with good grades too!

Big News
Big News! Adam and I are proud owners of a new (to us) car!
Buying a car is a big decision, but it needed to be done. We put on our big girl panties and went for it!
All We Want For Christmas
Dear Santa,
We have been really good this year. Honest, we have. We don't need any diamond rings or turtle doves. What we really need, Santa, is an addition to our family. So, this is our grown up Christmas wish:
A BABY!
Haha! On Sunday Mom, Dad, Abby, Nate, and Locklynn came to visit so we could wrap our secret Santa presents. We had an extra shoe box and we just couldn't help ourselves. That's how present Locklynn came to be. And Robo Baby...
Wew! What a long day for little Lockie!
We all sure love him!
P.S. If you haven't seen The Odd Life of Timothy Green yet, ya gotta! Even though it was about a boy with leaves, I could totally relate and I bawled my eyes out! How wonderful to have a child even if it is only for a few days.
P.P.S Can I just say that pomegranates are confusing?! To eat the seeds or not eat the seeds... that is the question.

Winter Family Reunion
Last weekend we traveled to Utah for a family reunion for a side of Adam's family that hasn't gotten together in years. It was at this reunion that we discovered that Adam actually has an Uncle Bean! Uncle Bean helped take care of and raise Adam's grandma after her dad passed away. We got to spend time with these kiddos:
And have a 4 eye photo shoot because Hannah and Kayden just got glasses.
Then we got to watch an awesome talent show where Hailey got up to share her piano playing talent... even though she doesn't play the piano...HaHa! She ended up singing a song instead. That girl loves the spotlight.
While in Utah we also spent some quality time at Cabela's for Adam, hit some malls for me, finished our Christmas shopping, visited Adam's grandpa who will be 93 in a few weeks, and swung by to view the new Brigham City Temple.
Man, the weekends always end too soon!
P.S. Check out Emily and Aaron. They are great members of Adam's family who are also hoping to adopt.
