Fun with the Johnson's

Ryan's cousin, Russell and Tanya and kids, Megan, Justin, Kristin, and Lauren came up to visit us for about a week in February.  We had so much fun with them while they were here.  They stayed in a hotel so when they first got here, we met them in town and had dinner and then headed to their hotel so the kids could swim.

The next morning, the guys and boys went to a gun show for a couple of hours and then everyone met up at our house and just hung out and visited for the rest of the day.

Sunday, we blessed Alivia

Monday, we headed up to Stonefly Lodge to spend a couple of days playing in the snow and just relaxing.  It was so fun to spend time up there together.  The kids had a ball playing together...except the ones who were sick. Justin and Kristen ended up with influenza while we were there so they didn't have so much fun.  We all took turns riding the snowmachines in a field across the street and we took little trail rides in the area too.  Ryan and Russell then got Justin and Bo out behind the lodge and made a trail down the hill to sled on.  We all hot tubbed a couple of times and played ping pong, air hockey and pool.  We watched movies and played games and read books.  It was great!

We came home on Thursday and some of us took off and went shooting guns while the rest of us hung out at home.  Russell and Tanya left the nxt afternoon and we spent the rest of the weekend trying to recover from all our activities. We were all so exhausted!

Alivia's Baby Blessing

We blessed Alivia on February 20, 2011.


Dress was made by Great Grandma Muirhead.
It is beautiful! Thanks Grandma!
After church we all headed over to our house for a lunch of soups, salad, bread, drink, cookies and cake. We ended up with 33 people at our house afterwards. It was crowded but so fun.


Thank you to everyone who was able to make it.
It was a great day!
