Good Morning, Good Morning, It's Christmas

This is how Carli woke us up on Chirstmas morning. She said it in such a sweet, yet excited way, that it couldn't help but make you smile even though there was no way that we had had enough sleep.

We had so much fun at Christmas. Matt and I traveled to my parents house in Utah. We got their on Christmas Eve. Kammi, Kristin & Mike, and Pam were already at my parents house. Soon thereafter, Sharon and Spencer and family joined the party. Having the young ones there was the icing on the cake as Christmas is always better with kids. Early Christmas morning, Carli busted through the door and made her proclamation.

We were able to spend a week in Utah and our time there was filled with all sorts of fun. One day we went down to Provo. It was fun to walk around campus and be reminded of all the fun times we had there. It is so weird to think that I graduated from there 6 years ago. Wow, time flies.

While on campus, we went to the Museum of Art where there was an exhibit of Carl Bloch paintings. This was beautiful. He is well know for many paintings that are very familiar to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Finally, I spent lots of time shopping with Kammi. It is always fun to shop with her. One day we were even lucky enough to get Sharon to come along.

We spent an evening at my cousins house. Three of the four of the Johnson family were able to make it, and it meant so much to us that they took the time to catch up.

One night we ventured to Temple Square. It had just snowed and was freezing cold, but was still fun and beautiful.

While we were their it snowed and was fun to have Sharon's Arizona kids play in the snow and do things for the first time, like making a snow man and snow angels, snow shoveling, and throwing snow balls, to scraping windows. Cale and Carli got in the car, and it was so fun to watch their faces as Matt scraped the windows, they did not know what was going on.

I love Christmas time and we were so sad to see it end.
