Holiday Season In Full Swing!

This is going to be one big wrapup of some Christmas and New Year's festivities. As always, we had a busy but wonderful holiday season. I got to start the Christmas season off in GA visiting my Dad and Selma and just getting to enjoy some quality time with the family out there. When I came back we had lots of family fun for Christmas. We started Christmas Eve in the Johnson household.

Here are the boys enjoying some homemade eggrolls and fried rice. Mmmm!

The adults grubbing on some awesome homemade food.

The Johnson boys opening their presents!

Peyton's 1st Christmas!

We are beyond blessed to get to spend Christmas with almost all of our family. We got to Skype with the Georgia Grzecka's for Christmas and even got to enjoy some dinner with Pat's dad on Christmas Day.

On to New Year's... We kept the tradition going by having some family up for some fun. Liz and the kids came up on the 30th, just in time for roughly 9 inches of snow and below freezing temperatures. But naturally the kids roughed the cold weather and enjoyed some fun out in the snow, as well as lots of food, movies and fun!

Happy New Year!

They "decorated" the living room with streamers.

CHEERS!

Hope the season has been full of fun and family for all. Happy 2011! May it be full of laughter, family, change, growth and even some surprises!

Christmas Time In the Ralston Home

I am SO behind on this blog. Since I wrote last its been about 3 months. In that time we have gotten married, honeymooned in Cancun and also taken a trip to GA to visit the Georgia Grzecka's. We have truly been enjoying our time as Newleyweds...no more wedding planning which leaves lots of time to spend together.

This is our second Christmas in our home, but this is the first year we decided to put up a tree. We were not going to put up a tree (we had some Christmas decorations out but didn't want to go overboard.) Yesterday we were out and about running some Christmas errands and while looking at ornaments we decided to head home and put the tree up.

Our living room ended up a war zone of boxes as we pulled out the tree and all the ornaments. We turned on some Pandora Christmas music to get us in the spirit and heated up some hot cocoa...mmmm.

And here she is... Our first tree in our newleywed home!

Only 12 more days until Christmas!
