Johnson Kids Sing a Christmas Favorite

Zachary and Daphne love the song "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town", and they sang it for us!  We thought we would share with all our friends for Christmas:

Family Pictures

I've been wanting to get some new family pictures taken for quite some time, but life got busy and I never got around to it.  We finally did it one weekend before the weather got too cold, and we had Neil's sister Cami take them.  She's been learning photography just like me, and she got some fun shots!  Daphne was being a little pill, and refused to smile or let me put her down, but I guess that's what you get when you have a 2-year-old!

Halloween

Halloween this year was really fun.  I kept the costumes simple so I didn't have to stress about them, and that gave me time to just enjoy the kids.  We went to our ward trunk-or-treat, and little did I know that was just the warm-up.  The kids were super excited to go trick-or-treating, so we went door to door for the first time.  They had tons of fun, and Daphne was so cute every time she went to the door and said "twick or treat!"  I just love these two!

Zachary was captain Jack Sparrow because he had a sword AND a gun!

Daphne was the cutest little frog ever!

The kids and I had fun decorating our trunk

Pumpkin Carving!

When we went to Pumpkinland, we let each of the kids choose a pumpkin they wanted to carve.  I decided to keep the carving simple this year, but the kids were able to help and Zachary actually did most of it by himself!  They were so proud of their pumpkins, and Neil and I even got to do one :)

What's inside, mom?

Scraping out the guts!

This kid has some serious concentration when he wants

Look mom, I did it all by myself!
