Nikki and Lindsay are enjoying their new wraps, a Christmas gift from Great Grandma Ann in Montana! Oh and on the last day of this year instead of snow blowing, we decided to take a bike ride in the 72 degree weather! We do miss the snow..well at least the girls do. We are going to celebrate the arrival of the new year at Grandma & Grandpa Johnson's this evening. Ya...you betchaa....(that's Norwegian). I hear there is a great Mexican train domino game scheduled!

Dad's favorite pie is: Yes, HUCKLEBERRY PIE! These are fresh picked huckleberries from Chewelah, WA. Okay they are frozen and picked in July but they still taste fresh to me. Grandma Johnson cooked her famous pie for our family today!

Lindsay had fun putting together her "Barbie" puzzle while Nikki did some investigative reading on how to accurately sketch model's.

Christmas 2008 in a RV!!

Santa Claus and his helpers did manage to find our 5th wheel late last night. Kelly woke me up when she heard a "rattle" coming from the roof and I assurred her it was the loose mounting bracket for our antenna. Little did I know Santa made a quick stop and dropped off some presents! Yes that is a 6 foot Christmas tree..well at least a half of a 6 foot Christmas tree. A very good design to sit flat up against the wall and we still had plenty of room for presents and Santa's milk & cookies.

Nikki at the golf course!

Nikki celebrated her 10th birthday today! She tested out her new golf clubs today at the Foothill's Golf Course. Even though she had a stiff breeze in her face, Nikki did a great job with those funny colored range balls. We were able to get her a new set of clubs as she has quickly grown out of the "jr" set we got her 3 years ago. I have now taken a more proactive interest in golfing and plan on chasing that little white ball around for at least the next 30 years!

Nikki's Birthday at Chuck E Cheese

Our Daugher Kerri and her husband Jay visited with us here in Yuma. We decided to celebrate Nikki's (10th) birthday while they were here so we went to the local Chuck E Cheese. Grandpa and Grandma Johnson joined in the fun as well!

Yuma Arizona

We all arrived here in sunny Yuma Arizona on the 2nd of December. The weather has been great so far and only a few days of wind and one full day of rain. The weather all over the US has been unusual this year, including here. We all have been so busy visiting family and finishing up the Christmas shopping that I've gotten behind a little on our blog..more updates soon.
