Well, holiday prep is in full swing here at the Johnson house but we are managing to squeeze in a little fun along the way! The fun started Friday night with the Oxford Tree Lighting Ceremony! MJ was in charge of organizing the event so we headed out to see Daddy hard at work. We bundled up in our winter gear and walked around downtown, ate some cookies and visited a little too. MJ did a great job on this event and the Oxford DDA will definitely be sad to see him go when he starts his student teaching in January.
Saturday was rather CRAZY--we tried all day to get out of the house to take some pics for our Christmas cards but Abby just wasn't going to have it!! She refused to nap and was a COMPLETE train wreck... lets just say that there was a ton of crying and temper tantrums. So at 4 pm we decided to put Abby in the car and get some running done (Costco, JoAnn's, Target and food). Needless to say she took a 2 hour nap in her carseat while MJ and I took turns running into the needed stores. By this point in the day we were too tired to cook and just picked up some 'Wiches and BK for dinner. MJ got some ranch with his nuggets which Abby decided she needed in order to "dip, dip" her turkey sandwich into. Here is the result of Abby's first encounter with ranch dressing, if you listen closely you can hear her "uuuuummmmmmm" as she bites....
This went on for about 10 minutes, too funny!! After a bath, Abby CRASHED for the night! Wheeew! Next MJ and I finished putting up the tree then went to be:
This morning we were able to head to the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester to take pictures by Oakland County's Largest Gingerbread House. It is super cute and even better smelling! Here are a few pics from out "shoot" (these did not make the cut for the Christmas card...hey we can't give you the good stuff other wise it would be a waste of money to send out cards, silly!!!).
Then we were off to the Rochester Christmas Parade with the Wolvens!!! It was cold but we bundled up and braved the wind. We had a great time and can't wait to go again next year!
Love the cheeks!
Then we came home and had some pizza, salad and cake mix brownies. After dinner the girls "played" together for a little before the Wolvens had to head home for Haley's bed time. Abby loves babies--especially her BFF Haley!
