Tonight was special. We had a family get together with my Johnson side of the family. My two uncles Don and Dave and thier families. Don's daughter Jessica and her three kids Evan, Brianne, and Austin. Dave and his wife Peggy and one of their kids Erin. They also have Andy and Pat but they weren't able to attend. And then of course my mom my dad my siblings and their families. Jeff with his wife Staci and daughter Amara, my brother Adam, sister Teresa, and brother Jonas. And then me and my family, myself and my husband Brandon and I kids Jeremiah and Austyn. This is something we haven't been able to do in over six years. In fact the last time we got together I was newly pregnant with Austyn and my family hadn't even been told. My cousin Erin said she hadn't ever seen Austyn, who is already in the first grade!
We had hors d'oeuvres and soup and then we played what usually we called the two dollar game but this year we did white elephant and decided to continue to do that into the future. It was a lot of fun! I also made a point of taking a picture of the cousins together, first and third, in a picture on the couchas I had done six years ago of course now with the addition of Austyn. Everybody came around 5 PM and stayed till about 7 PM and it was just a nice time together. I look forward to doing it next year and the following years and I'm thankful to have family and continued traditions! A special thanks to my cousin Jessie for suggesting the get together in the first place!
