Fun with Family and Snow

Eric and were lucky enough to get a half snow day yesterday and we spent the time with family. We made it over to Yvonne's house and hung out with Jared, Mo, Naya, Matthew, Yvonne and Mike. Here are some photos from the day.
Naya and Jared sledding. Jared, Eric, Naya and I went looking for a sledding hill in Mike and Yvonne's neighborhood. We found the perfect hill and had a great time.

Naya's solo ride. She had so much fun, laughing all the way down.

A cute picture of Naya after sledding.

Help up: Uncle Eric helped Naya get up the hill the fast way.

Jared wipe out. Of course the adults had to have some fun...Jared went flying down the hill and stopped the only way he could, by leaning over and putting on the flannel brakes. :)

The first push...this is a picture of Naya's first push down the hill. Jared told her to hang out and off she went, smiling the entire way down.

A little more adult fun...Eric sledding down the hill..Naya wasn't the only one who had fun.

"I can't put my arms down"

After sledding we went back to Yvonne and Mikes. Eric and I spent some time with Matthew. Here he is wearing Eric's hat. Looks like we may have another USC fan in the family.

Tough guy!

Just hanging out.

What...do I have something on my face?

I was trying to take a nice picture...but Eric and Naya had other plans.

We spent some time playing Wii, Naya is a great bowler, here she is showing off some moves.

Uncle Eric had the pleasure of giving Matthew a bath. Looks like they are both having fun.

Finally a video of Jared and Naya sledding.

Well Eric and I had a fabulous time hanging out in the snow with our family. We are looking forward to the Holiday's so we can spend more quality time with friends and family.

Snowing in Oregon

Hi Friends and Family!
Well it's snowing in Oregon. It's been really cold (10 degrees with wind chill). We are staying warm. Cooking yummy food (I used a crock pot for the first time!) and drinking hot chocolate. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
Love you all!

Christmas at the Johnson's

Hello All,

Sorry it's been so long since I updated the blog. We have been busy putting the house together. And with it, we have had a lot of firsts. First time we trimmed our plum trees, first time we weatherized our windows, first time we put up Christmas lights, our first Christmas tree. It has been wonderful. Below are some photos of the house with furniture in it. :)
This is our living room.

This is the guest room. Eric and I made the headboard. I am still trying to figure out what curtains to put up....but the room is ready for guests! :)

This is my library or reading area. It is right off the guest room.

I'll put up photos of our master bedroom once its finished. We are waiting for our new bed frame to come. And we still don't have a dining room table, but other than that we are almost ready to throw a house warming party. :)

The rest of the photos are of our Christmas Lights.
Snoopy and Woodstock are all ready to celebrate the Holiday's

Our first Christmas Tree. There was a really cute tree farm a couple blocks from our house, so Eric and I walked down to the lot, picked out a tree and carried it home. It was such a special evening. Then we realized we didn't have any lights to put on the tree and had about 5 ornaments, so we had to go out and buy some new decorations and lights.

The Christmas lights on the house. We ended up putting the lights on the house in the dark. It was so funny, there I was holding the ladder while Eric climbed up and attached lights.

We hope all is well with you. More pictures to come of the house and of us. We love you all!
