Wow…as we write this, we are humbled by what our family has become. We are also humbled by what this year has taught us. It is unbelievable that we have reached this milestone in the Johnson household! On October 13, Aubree and Annelise will turn 1. We can’t even describe all the feelings that we feel. If you think it was adventurous having three children under the age of 2 in our household, just wait…the fun has just began. We are about to have 3 toddlers on the loose on Edna Street!
This past weekend, we were very blessed to have both sides of the family in town for a major celebration. As always, we parents try to make things even and fair. It was a cupcake celebration to the fullest extent…just like Ava had! There was only one person missing from our bunch, Auntie Autumn in London. But, have no fear…we Skyped her in! (As our parents say: “isn’t that technology now days amazing!”) There was cake, delicious food, Cupcake wine (for the adults, yes they make it, and yes, we needed it!), presents galore, a NE football game, and most of all family and love!
And, we can’t have Aubree and Annelise steal all the spotlight. It was a big celebration weekend on many levels. Auntie Kelli got engaged the night before the party! Congrats Auntie Kelli and Uncle Dave…it is going to be an amazing year! (PS…for those that follow this blog…yes this is weird for our children to comprehend and get straight. There is Poppa Chris and Uncle Chris on the same side and now their will be Grandpi Dave and Uncle Dave on the same side. The Aunties are in love with people that have the same name as their dads!)
Here is a gallery of pictures of the festivities. We have inserted comments to set the stage…
