tHAnKSgivING!

WE HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING. IT WAS NICE AND EASY! EVERY YEAR WE SWITCH OFF WITH EACHOTHERS FAMILIES. LAST YEAR WE WERE WITH MY FAMILY SO THIS YEAR WE SPENT IT WITH BRENT'S FAMILY. DINNER WAS EXCELLENT! GRANDMA TERRIE MAKES A GREAT TURKEY AND STUFFING DINNER. LESLIE MADE A GREAT GREEN BEAN CASAROLE ALSO. GRANDMA ALWAYS TAKES THE TIME TO TEACH THE GIRLS HOW TO MAKE ROUND-THE-FINGER ROLLS! FIRST YOU LAY OUT THE DOUGH, THEN SPREAD IT WITH CRISCO, THEN FOLD AND SPREAD, REPEATED 3 TIMES! THEN YOU TAKE A STRIP OF DOUGH AND ROLL IT AROUND YOU FINGER AND DIP IT IN BUTTER! YES, ANOTHER DIP INTO GREASE! THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS THE BEST ROLL YOU HAVE EVER EATEN! THIS YEAR I WANTED TO TELL EVERYONE HOW THANKFUL I WAS FOR THEM AND I HAD THE IDEA TO MAKE THANK YOU BOXES. EVERYONE WOULD WRITE A LITTLE THANK YOU TO EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY! IT WAS SO NEAT! EVERYONE TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE WHY THEY WERE THANKFUL FOR EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. IN THE END WE HAD ABOUT 24'S THANKS YOU'S IN EACH FAMILY BOX. WE READ OURS FOR FAMILY HOME EVENING AND IT WAS REALLY SPECIAL TO HEAR A SWEET THANK YOU'S FROM EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. WE WILL CHERISH IT FOREVER. AUNT LESLIE ALSO HAD OREO COOKIE TURKEY'S FOR THE KIDS TO MAKE! THEY WERE SO CUTE. NOW WE LOOK FORWARD TO CHRISTMAS! (IT'S ON IT'S WAY FAST!)

Busy, Busy Days!

I know, I know it has been so long since I have posted. It seems the last few weeks have been soooo crazy! Grandma and Grandpa Johnson had their anual "Fall-A-Sleep-Over" the kids had a great time and loved the prayer rocks and rockin' pj's they got! Brent and I took advantage of the night alone and we went out on the town! We went the see the show KA at the MGM. We went with our friends Sam and Vince. It was really good! Afterall, I love that kind of stuff! We enjoyed the night out together. Then...done, done, done... we came home and found our house was covered in toilet paper and saran wrap! We have a good idea of who did it and all Brent said was, "Whoever did this knows the scout 10 fold rule!" Which means, "Don't do anything to another scout unless your willing to get it back 10 fold!" So watch out! We never forget! We'll get you when you least expect it!
