Johnson Christmas Party

Eli loved singing Jingle Bells and seeing santa!!!! I enjoyed the "real" mac'n'cheese!!!!

Hermosillo, Mexico

Here a few pictures from our trip to Mexico. The highlights were the baptism, visiting the temple, the Nacho Liebre masks, and smashing Karl's face in the cake!!!! CJ had tried all day to get us to eat cake with him, he really wanted to slam our faces in it. My brother and I were explaining this to Karl and I guess he didn't get it because when when asked him to look at the small specks in the cake and tell us if he thought they were chocolate, he put his face right next to the cake. Chris and I couldn't resist and BAM.....face in the cake!!!

Play time!

Eli and Penelope originally had the appropriate sized jersey on but really wanted to trade. I thought the boots were a really nice touch!

mmmmmmm Dessert

Eli at a wedding reception. He was very interested in the many dessert options.....also a bit excited about them too!!!!

Field Trip

Once again we visited the firestation but this time we were able to get in the trucks and try on the gear. I didn't think about it but in a child's eye, firemen are very scarey all dressed up in their big yellow suits. It was good to expose Eli to them like this so he wouldn't be too scared of them in an emergency.

Dates

Karl and I rarely get away just the two of us so the BYU games made for some fun afternoons. I really enjoyed to insightful conversations I had with him while he wore his good looking head phones!

Eli's Introduction to Smoking

We are here in Mexico visiting my brother. I forgot my USB cord for the camera so I will post pics later but I can't help post this funny story. We went to a baseball game last night with DeeDee and CJ. Eli was fasinated by everything. I was facinated by the silly treats and Karl enjoyed the short skirted Mexican Dancers. There was also this older gentelman who would stand up and do a little dance routine with several different audience members that really had us "cracked up!" Eli kept walking over to some men next to us and just staring. I was embarassed. Later I noticed these men taking pictures of Eli and his stares. Then I noticed that these men were smoking. Eli was in awe!!!! He was trying his hardest to smell the smoke. He was even grabbing smoke from the air and bringing it close to his face (buttercupping himself). Thank goodness it was just cigarettes!!!!

Just a note: I bought a big thing of sugared pecans for $3, DeeDee ate a churro field with vanilla cream for a buck, CJ got a huge bag of these wierd chips smothered with sweet hot sauce for $2, a few bowls of hot dogs cut up covered with sweet ketchup, mustard, lime and hot sauce and sodas from glass bottles all for a dollar. It is really fun, I just wish I was not in my first nauseated trimester so I could be a little more brave!!!
