This year we flew to Kansas City for a last minute family reunion.
All the "Johnson Girls" and our families were there.
It was a wonderful trip. We have so much to be thankful for!!
Sarah and Kate saw snow for the first time.
Aunt Tiff and Uncle Mike brought the girls the cutest boots.
Perfect for playing the pre-thanksgiving snow.
They brought many other gifts too, which the girls were very excited to open.
Kate enjoyed some chocolate pie on Thanksgiving day. Yum!
She was tickled by cousin Jake. 
. . . and cousin Mike.
Jake drew a portrait of Cody in his football gear and signed it. Kate was there to get loves from Cody (who just adores her.)
Sarah giggled each time Cody (or the other boys) teased her with the (um, there's no delicate way to put this . . . . ) f@rt machine. As grossed out as Sarah is by boys who "pop" she was tickled by the toy. The boys thought her laughing was so funny, they teased her all week.
The kids performed for us and Sarah handled crowd control.
Saying "Tootsie Roll, lollipop, you're all talking, now lets stop!!"
Poor Daisy (aka The Duke) was worn out.
With all the cousins around she needed a rest on her furry pillow.

Here are all the cousins (except Nick) Jake, Mike, Sarah, Cody, Kate & Joey.
What fun we had and what a blessing we could all be together.
Through his courage in his battle with cancer, and his drive to have fun whenever he can, Cody has given our whole family an appreciation for enjoying each day, each moment. As Supermom, I have often rushed through wonderful moments in life as I've looked forward to the next goal or event. Not any more - there really is something to the old saying about stopping to smell the roses.
