Thanksgiving 2008!

The "Johnson" Family!

I just love this picture - now this is what Thanksgiving is all about!

We spent Thanksgiving day in Marion, IN with the Johnson side of the family. We don't get to enjoy the Johnson side that often so it is always so great to catch up and give everyone a big ole' hug!!!! I am so sorry that I did not take a picture of our feast. Once again Douglas and Brent out did themselves...their hours and HOURS of slaving and preparing definitely showed. After last year and knowing what we were in for....we had been looking forward to this day for weeks!!! The day was absolutely perfect - thank you Douglas and Brent!!! And thank you Patty & Earl for your hospitality:):)

The day began with Lyla and Josie finally meeting for the first time. Josie had been practicing saying Lyla's name all week ...she finally showed her stuff right when we were saying our goodbyes....she saved the best for last by saying "Ly" (Lie)...which I must add is now her official nickname - thanks Josie:):):)

The day then quickly turned into everyone getting their moments with Lyla. Notice how everyone is looking at Lyla and not the camera...she is so loved!!! Who cares about the camera when you've got Lyla ;)

Josie even got a turn ;)

Another one of my favorite moments from the day...oh how things have changed!!!! Carri and I...PARENTS! I think we'll leave it at that - the picture does all the talking:):):)

Switcharoo...:)

And finally...the oh so very happy grandparents with their grand-daughters - awwwwww!!!! What a great Thanksgiving - SO much to be thankful for...
