After Christmas we got together with Dad's family for a party. It's been a long time since we have all been together. We loaded everyone into our van (all 15 seats filled) and headed up to Kevin and Elizabeth's new home. Matt and Kristin joined us as we passed Lehi.
We had a great time eating and enjoying each other's company. Everyone brought "pot luck" sides and desserts and we ordered pizza. After eating, Unlce Kevin led us in some good old fashion family Christmas games.
Check out Uncle Kevin talking with his hands. I always wondered where I got that from.
There was the eating of marshmallows......
And the "sucking" of M&M's with straws!
Who knew that UN-rolling crepe paper could keep us all entertained.......
We took the opportunity while we were together to take some family pictures.
This is DAD (Curtis), Aunt Darla, Aunt Terri and Uncle Kevin.
Uncle Brian wasn't there that night.
Uncle Brian wasn't there that night.
These are the "cousins" or Grandchildren of H. Thayne Johnson.
We are all grown up now, and have kiddies of our own.
And last, but not least, all of our off-spring.
The GREAT-grandchildren of H. Thayne and Iris Johnson.
It was a wonderful evening. The kids all had a great time, re-connecting with one another.
The best one liner of the night came from Kiersten.......
"I love Uncle Kevin. He is just like a younger, more fun Grandpa!"
That being said, I guess there is more to genetics than we would like to admit.
The Great-grand kids who have not been around each other much, really picked up on the similarities between the cousins and Aunts & Uncles.
We hope to get together more often in the coming year.
