Jacy Noel Johnson


One of fun things that's happened as we've begun the new year is the visit of Ben and Jen and Dax and Jacy in connection with Jacy's blessing. Jen stayed with us for a week and then Ben came, but not without some challenge. Due to storms in Atlanta that resulted in massive flight delays and cancellations he flew to Las Vegas and then drove from there to Salt Lake, arriving Sunday morning just in time to take a quick nap and make it to church. We had a nice family brunch before church and were joined by Fred and Jan who came all the way up from Las Vegas, by Em and Joe and their kids from Layton, by Steve and Laura from Provo, and by Ben's parents, Kent and Celeste. The Clarks left that afternoon to return to Vegas, and it's a good thing they did because when we woke up the next morning there was more than a foot of new snow outside. The pictures are of Ben and Jen and Jacy in her blessing dress, and of Dax the next day by the snow mound created by the snow blower.

Happy New Year





Happy New Year! We had a wonderful time on New Year's Eve with the Butlers, Rich, Steve and Laura, Becca and Kristin and Laura's family. Dave and Connie Pixton and their children Aubrey, Jacob and Joseph joined us for an evening of food and fun. On New Year's day there was racket ball in the morning, sledding in the afternoon, and Cafe Rio and football in the evening.

Here's a quick update on the Hawaii trip and on Christmas. We had a great time in Hawaii with perfect weather and fantastic food. Got back on the 23rd in time to prepare for Christmas with ginger bread houses on Christmas Eve and the Butler grandkids at our house to open presents on Christmas morning. Attached, reverse chronological order, are some pictures of Hawaii and Christmas. The first one is some of the Christmas morning crew. Next is Thomas demonstrating the joy of "unbridled avarice" (name the movie that come from). We then go to ginger bread houses on Christmas Eve with Jenny Butler and Kristin and Elise and Alex Jeppsen. The Hawaii pictures are of the fam on Kaanapalii Beach after a great evening meal at the Hula Grill, then one of dad and mom at Moma's Fish House, and finally a picture of the view from our 10th floor condo at the Marriott Ocean Club.
