Brandon is engaged!!!

Well, our second son is ENGAGED!!  Brandon got engaged on December 19th.  He is marrying Kalli Wendt on May 17th, 2019.  We are so excited for the happy couple.  Aren't they so cute?

Brandon and Kalli

He proposed at the Luminaria in Thanksgiving Point.  It's a huge place that you can go walk through and see all of the Christmas lights.  He had arranged with Kalli's roommate to be there and snap pictures of the proposal.  It was pretty awesome and guess what?  She said YES! Yeah! :) 

Will you marry me?

The cute couple

A close up of the ring.  It's very pretty!

Congratulations Brandon and Kalli!  We are so excited to welcome another GIRL into our family!

Let the planning begin! :) 

December Fun! 2018

Jacob is in choir this year, so we went to the Christmas concert at Cottonwood.  

They did a great job!

It's hard to tell, but Jacob is just left of the middle.  

(He's the short one! HA!  Sorry Jake!)

Todd and I went to see The Nashville Tribute Band in concert this year.  It was so awesome!  They did such an amazing job!

Waiting for the concert to start...

Todd and Melissa

Here are a bunch of pictures of the big event

It was a very spiritual and uplifting evening, and I'm so glad we were able to attend.  

There's nothing better to celebrate than the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

And here are a few pictures of our ward Christmas party

Sierra VanBeekum, Kyle, and Katie Martel

It was a fun evening and helped kick off the Christmas season!  We love our ward family! :) 

Johnson Christmas Party 2018

We had our Johnson Christmas party this year at Wendy and Anthony's house....in SALT LAKE!!!  Isn't that awesome???  We ate snacks and treats...pretty much dinner. :)  It was a lot of fun!

Gina, Michelle, and Josiah

The siblings! 

Wendy, Melissa, Gina, and Brad  

(And I just realized we are standing together in order of age also!  Cool!)

We played the "present exchange" game, and it was fun.  It's similar to what you play with "white elephant gifts," but these were good gifts. :) And everyone in the family played the game, including the kids!

So there were lots of presents...

Jacob, Alexis, Grandpa Johnson, Grandma Johnson, Anthony, and Wendy

Todd, Gina, Michelle, Caleb, Moriah, Josh, and Josiah

Michelle, Josiah, Josh, Kyle, Kalli, Brandon, Eric, and Andraea

It was a fun evening!  Let the Christmas festivities begin! :) 

Thanksgiving Weekend 2018

I can't believe I didn't take any pictures of Thanksgiving day with the Jones Family.  Lame! It was really fun though.  We all got together at Ryan and Malissa's, and it was great seeing everyone. (You'll just have to take my word for it!) :)

Eric and Andraea came for the weekend and it was fun to have them. Here is a picture of them pretending to be really full after Thanksgiving dinner!  HA! 

Eric, Andraea, and Kyle

Kalli came too! 

(Did I mention that Brandon is pretty serious with this girl?) Yes, yes I did. :) 

Brandon, Kalli and Jacob

Eric and Andraea...not as full now

Happy Thanksgiving!  Let the holidays begin!

Happy Birthday Kyle! 17!

Can you believe Kyle is 17 years old?  (What is happening???)

His main present was a new phone.  He really wanted an iphone, so we found an older, used one online, and split the cost with him (it was still around $300). They are ridiculously expensive!

But he also got a few surprises...

A new Zelda 3DS game

A Zelda shirt...

And a Zelda hat!  Did I mention that Kyle likes Zelda? :)

It was a pretty low key birthday for him, but that's how he likes them.  Happy Birthday Kyle!  

We love you so much and are so proud of the young man you are becoming!
