Christmas Bus 2018

Sof talked about the Christmas Bus for weeks! Every time we saw a school bus she asked if that was the one we would ride on, so it was such a relief to wake up this morning knowing all of Sof's dreams would come true.

Sof is often the honorary member of the Johnson family.

I always love hearing Mark play his cello.

Thanks to Kathy, these are the best-dressed nativity characters. Sof was Mary this year and she did a great job! Cute Claire was a moody angel.

I love that despite her sass, Claire's cousins still like to try and hold her.

The cutest little Mary.

Poor Greg. He had me pulling faces at him in the back.

She loves that baby Jesus.

Jesus was carried around by Sof for the rest of the night.

I was having deja vu  while holding Claire in the nativity. I did the exact same thing with Sof.

The cutest little characters!

After the Christmas Program, we all caravanned to the church. There, we played games and ate yummy food while waiting for the bus to come and get us. The games were hilarious!

Zach kept cracking me up!

This game was obviously a contest to see who was the best Christmas tree. But, they all won.

Airborn!

Jenna was so cute with Claire, and Claire was content to poke her in the eye. A true friendship.

We failed to get the family picture in front of the bus, but know that it did indeed pick us up, and Sof was so excited to ride in the back with her cousins.

I had to document Claire letting someone e law hold her. It's a Christmas miracle.

You wouldn't believe the amount of people who asked where we got these lights. People way underutilized their Dollar Stores. It's no surprise that she didn't get lost.

 I never mentioned Greg's cute grandma, aunt and uncle all made the trip down from Boise for the Christmas bus. It's always so fun to have them! They are truly some of the greatest people, and it was fun to have Uncle Dave walk around the temple with us.

After the bus dropped us off, I made Greg get a picture with Grandma with the girls. You never know if it will be the last one.

It's not perfect, but it's them. 😍

It makes me so happy whenever Claire wears this suit.

We love Aunt Lisa and definitely don't see her near as much as we would like!
