Johnson Family Christmas

For the second (?) year in a row now, we had the Johnson family Christmas at our house. It was so much fun! I took off Thursday afternoon to get some things cleaned up around the house the day before, and was so excited about the coming festivities.


Living Room is ready

One of the awesome things that I was pumped about are my new pillows that Mom gave me for my birthday just a few weeks ago! Have I mentioned that I absolutely love ruffles? And red? They're actually a very pretty, deep red, and not the orange that they kind of appear in this photo. (cell phones)


New pillows

When Friday came, I made the Buttercrunch cookies and Eric helped me roll them. The only reason I don't make these more often is because they take lots of time and you have to work fast.

Freshly rolled and cooling
Finished product, after some munching :)

During all of the baking, Celeste was getting very whiny (she wanted to eat all the deserts and I was so mean for not letting her). Finally, at just after 2:30pm, Celeste finally fell asleep. Whew!

And I was able to do some more cooking, including these yummy green beans and red potatoes, and some sweet potato casserole.
