Eben and Kivi designed a complicated web of string for Dada to follow to his big present, a Kitchen Aid. He's been wanting one for a long time.
Uncle Chris and Uncle Tonya (as the kids call her now thanks to Jasper) and cousins came over and we got a shot of the big Johnson clan in front of the tree. We had Dada's cheese fondue, and Grandma brought meatballs, and lots of snacky foods for lunch. And we opened more presents.

Have I ever mentioned that we have a Spanish lesson every Thursday?
Dada and his sweet Pella on her first Christmas.
The kids big gift this year which poor, sick Dada still did a scavenger hunt for, was a new LAPTOP!! They were so excited! All year long the kids would all talk about saving their money so they could buy a laptop and give it to Eben - the computer lover. They all like to try and play games or at least try to make the mouse go where they want it to go and we knew it would come in handy for homeschooling too. So Eben has to share, but I don't think he minds.

The kids got a rockin' 1970's doll house from the Uncles and cousins. Uncle Chris had just as much fun setting up the furniture as the girls did.
The traditional "Baby's First Christmas" picture in the huge stocking I sewed for Eben so long ago.
The 6 little johnsons in front of the tree. This picture actually took 4 different photo sessions. We had to keep waiting for Berg and Pella to be happy. We actually took these last 3 pics the next day, with all the presents piled under the tree like my mamacita used to do.
A close-up of Pella's pocket pajamas. I made her's out of the insides of pockets, and the part with the buttons down the front is made up of three different fronts of men's pants, you know, the part that opens in front of the crotch. They took me forever to make, like 4 hours, so I'm documenting them.
Merry Crazy Christmas! All birthdays are a wild, fun time over here. Christmas is the greatest birthday ever! Happy birthday, Jesus!

It's Christmas, Ya! People won't get that unless they saw your play - which was very cute and you and Peter were very funny! Skyping is now one of my favorite things to look forward to on Christmas - watching all the kids open their gifts and having them run over to the computer and show us what they got. Good luck on trying to make it less crazy next year! You've got 6 kids - what do you expect?!! Love to you all,
Momacita
I love that Uncle Chris even has matching jammies. Kudos to you on Pella's jammies by the way! Impressive! And thanks for the tip on the cinnamon rolls. We actually were not that smart and had to watch for melted wax in the middle of a few of ours. Whoops....;D
HUGS Johnson Fam!
