Christmas Time

 Christmas in our family is usually filled with lots of fun, family, and great food.  We love to be together, we love to have a good time, and we love to eat!  We spent the first part of the holidays with Hayne's family in South Carolina.  Laela and Cord love it there with Mama, Pappy, Tia, and Uncle Brad.  Of course the horses, dog, and lots of roaming room make it that much more fun.  A day after Christmas, we headed to Minnesota for Christmas with the Johnson clan.  Our time there is usually loud, crazy, and loads of fun.  Every day Laela would wake up and ask when her cousins were coming over to Nonnie and Papa's house. There are six grandkids on the Johnson side, all five years old and younger, so it is lots of noise and energy all the time. Two weeks of cousin activity left us all a bit tired, but was worth every ounce of energy expended.
