The Longest Post Ever......

Here is the Longest Post Ever....... I am going to pile all of the stuff that we did over the Holiday Season into this one post...... and believe me it has been alot! so, hold on tight and lets go.......But first here we are at the Christmas Tree Farm getting Pics made with Aunt Heb.......

First off we Jumped on the Parade circuit. The Patrick Johnson Agency along with the "Good NeighBear" and the 2RedHens rode in the Hartselle, Moulton, and Decatur Christmas Parades. It was so much fun....well, except the Decatur parade where it was raining and cold! But we had a blast and had fun promoting the family business.....

Next the 2RedHens skipped a day of school and we went to Nashville for a day of ICE! and Shopping.... I must say we weren't prepared for how cold it was going to be in the ICE! exhibit but it was fabulous! Granny went with us and her and the hens had some quality girls time shopping. We finished off the night by taking in the lights at the hotel and taking a boat ride on the delta. The hens took over the camera's at the hotel sooooo those pictures..... not so use able...

Elliott and all the 1st graders had the annual Polar Express Day at BBE. Mr. Land goes all out to make this a very special day for them..... he has a room decorated like a train car and we blindfold the kids and walk them through the halls to the room and then he reads them the "Polar Express" they get to drink hot chocolate and eat chocolate covered pretzels... they LOVE IT!!!

Addie was cast as Mrs. Cratchit in the 3rd grade production of "A Christmas Carol". And I may be bias but I really think this girl is meant for the big stage. She did fantastic! She not only got all her lines right but she delivered them with such gusto! And the rest of the cast was fabulous as well.

Next came Christmas break.... We had rough start with a sick little hen.... then the big hen was sick on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day..... but we were Blessed just the same! We were surprised by Santa with a New family member this year..... I would like to introduce Lola Johnson......

She is a yellow lab.... that is sooooo sweet.... and because it is so cold is having to stay in the house at night......that i'm not really loving.... but her we are loving.... and then mr. johnson brought home .........another puppy...... i haven't taken any pictures of him yet but he looks just like Lola only he's older than her.... by about 6 weeks...... his name is Ari Johnson..... Patrick was visiting his brother's grave and this little fellow and his brother who is now Ava's puppy Ace.... ( Ava is Patrick's niece) were just roaming around the cemetery... so, now we have 2 new family members... At least Lola has someone to keep her company when she is outside....

New Years was nothing big around here because by then mr. johnson had what the girls had the week before.... but he did take Addie for their what has become a 2 year traditional New Years Day Waterloo Dear Hunt....We did set some Johnson Family Goals for 2010 everyone got to pick 5 things they wanted to do in 2010 to add to the list.... but that deserves a post of it's own.....so, now it is a new decade and the 2RedHens are back at school and mr. johnson and I are at the agency working. We are waiting on the Winter Weather Event of 2010... i've got our milk & bread in true southern fashion..... and now i'm resolving to post more in 2010.....
soooo.... there is the longest post ever.......... hope you enjoyed..... and I still haven't gotten my year-end letters out! oh-my!!!!
