Santa Claus Visits

Oh Happy Day!! The Girls were just ecstatic!!

This Christmas was amazing. I must say the Johnson family is extremely blessed to have the family we do. We started the holidays at Aunt Connie and Uncle Tracy's house on the Saturday before Christmas.




Next, we gathered on the Eve at Nanna Nette's and Poppi's home. We were so excited and loving our time together!



Next, we were off the Sims Lane...where many of my greatest childhood Christmas memories took place and still do every year...



I will finish this post in a bit!!

Christmas time is here...

My little beauties all dressed up in their Christmas dresses...they melt my heart.

 We went to RCC today and I tell ya, Ms. Susan's message really opened my eyes. I didn't realize how many gifts the wise men brought Jesus..we picture three little boxes for gold, frankincense, and myrrh. That is not the case, the wise men gifts financed their future trip to Egypt. Also, the wise men were not at the birth Jesus, they came when he was a little child.
Also, got to increase my faith because I was given the many scriptures that prophecied Joseph's lineage, birth from a virgin, born in Bethlehem, and leaves Egypt...the sermon was amazing.

I know we're attending the right place. Mady came out of her class and said, "Mom, it's better to give than to receive." I said what makes you say this??? She answered assuredly, "When you give a gift, it will be blessed and you will get even more back." Wow! That is awesome! I only learned this in my early 20's! Too cool.

My Madyson Elyse...my first unconditional love!

Our stocking for the first grade hallway!!

Mady's last day at Dardanelle Primary School...Greenbrier: We're ready to see what the Lord has in store!!
