Mia's Baby Blessing

WAY back in February our church had their annual Baby Blessing for all the babies born in 2013. This is always a special day for each family.

Our sweet little Mia was one of the babies being honored. The Baby Blessing happens during our regular church service. First there is a little commitment ceremony, then each family is called up onto the stage and finally, this special time is closed with a little prayer. After church the celebration continues when each new baby and their family are treated to a yummy lunch.

We are so thankful for our family that was able to be a part of this special day. It means the world to us to know that these sweet girls have such amazing and loving people in their life!

Our Merry Little Christmas

We arrived home in Tennessee the Friday evening after Christmas. Even though Christmas was officially over, our little family of four had a little more celebrating to do. The girls absolutely loved finding what Santa had brought them!

Lipstick anyone?

No really, hold still so I can cover you in pretend lipstick!

 

 

We decided that after a couple hours of playing with the toys Santa brought, it was best to get a good nights sleep and let the girls open their final few presents from Momma and Daddy in the morning.





Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

Let's Go To The Beach!

 

A few weeks ago, we headed to Florida for the annual Johnson Family Vacation. This year we stayed in Santa Rosa Beach and loved every minute. I think I can speak for the whole family and say it is our new favorite place to stay on 30A!

 

Everyone had a great time. It is always nice to just get away and spend time with family. We did miss having Aunt BJ around. Unfortunately, she has a real job now and had to stay in Searcy to teach her little 1st graders:(

 

Here are pictures from our trip. This was the first year McKinley wasn't purposefully trying to eat sand, so being out at the beach was actually enjoyable! The first two days she was scared of the ocean and just wanted to walk the beach and play in the sand which was nice and relaxing. But the last two days of vacation she lost all fear of the water and was taking running leaps into the ocean. She definitely kept Momma and Daddy on our toes. 

 

Warning: There are a ton of pictures and most of them are of McKinley. What can I say...I am a little obsessed with my child:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

This picture makes my heart smile!

 

 

 

 

Early morning drawing time with Bubba.

 

I think she looks like a mermaid:)

What can I say, like father like daughter:)



Blue eyes just like her Daddy!

She LOVED making footprint in the sand!
