merry christmas

here are a few pictures from our christmas. we started the season off with a fun nativity re-enactment at grandma and grandpa johnson's stable. ken, otho, and abe were shepherds abiding in the fields.


abe is our little shepherd boy.


a happy otho and daddy.


they are abiding in their fields waiting for the angel gabriel to send them to the inn. probably the best role, since they can just sit in the sidelines and not do very much.


i had to include a picture of our very very cute ellie in her beautiful christmas dress.


christmas morning... the boys were more excited that santa ate their milk and cookies than opening their presents. santa did enjoy the oreos very much i'm sure. but soon we had a grand time opening the fun things santa brought.


ellie got a rocking horse that she adores. she has a little bit of grandma johnson in her blood to love horses so much.


abe showing off his bumblebee and spiderman toys.


otho playing with daddy's flashlight. santa's big gift was a wii, which the boys enjoy playing all the time. otho is amazing at tennis, a sport we would never have taught him otherwise. abe sometimes thinks he's not good enough to play, so we are trying to boost his confidence level so he knows how good he really is at sports.


and i had to include this one post-christmas picture, of ellie on her horse. she is too stinking cute for words (despite the slobber, but she is getting 5 teeth in during this picture, so we should cut her some slack).
