MERRY CHRISTMAS!
My dear sweet neighbor saw my enthusiastic approach to the upcoming holiday and brought over a gingerbread house kit that she had bought to give to us a little later. She couldn't wait and apparently neither could the boys.
We HAD to open it right then and build it "RIGHT NOW MOM!!! It's sooo cool!"
Here are the little dears with their creation and their many smiles and candy eating joys that went along with it.
My mother has been here with us since Thanksgiving and she wanted to do a Christmas craft with the boys too. So, while I was out collecting last minute costumes, props, and decorations for our ward Christmas party Thursday, she baked gingerbread men with them. They actually thought this was cooler than building the house! They really love cooking and being part of the whole creative process. Here's what I found when I came home. Zechariah and Gabriel were immersed in their decorating project, Ammon was coaxing the 20th (or more) red hot candy out of my recently turned-to-jello-in-the hands-of-her-grandkids mother. Who cares?!? They had a blast and were so thrilled to do it with Grandma! She was thrilled too. (check out Zech's tongue-concentration at its finest!)
I'm so glad she's here. I keep trying to convince her to move in. I think she has reservations about the early mornings at our house. My kids wake up at 6:30am! No matter what, hence the reason for 7:30pm bedtime!
Ok, I have to ask: Truly, is Ammon not the most beautiful little boy in the entire world? Seriously, I don't think I'm partial anymore-I mean I do have 2 others and they are very good looking boys! But Ammon is such a heartbreaker! He smiles all the time and at everyone. He melts hearts! And OH!!! Those eyes!
Now, if I could just keep him out of my cabinets! :)
Elijah Aaron Griesmyer is due May 22nd.

The tongue concentration is a must! And if we are from the same Johnson line somehow, it is definitely a Johnson trait.
Also, I have to say I am quite partial to Ammon's amazing smile. I love that he flirts with me everytime I so much as look his way. What a charmer. And oh! those cheeks! I must admit, I am a cheek woman. At my house we call it "pudge and smudge" and you have to say it with your teeth clenched together like your about to explode with adoration. Try it. "Pudge and Smudge".
p.s.Thanks for all your hard work at the Christmas party. It paid off.
Ammon is a doll! i can't believe i have never met him. what a bum deal. hopefully we will be near each other again someday!
The cutest boys ever. Scott and I cannot wait to see you guys...only 23 more days! Yay!
