Someone's been playing with her Silhouette!

Me, me!

I'm not sure if I have mentioned it, but I got a SILHOUETTE for Christmas! Wahoo! For all of you who do not know what this gloriousness is, it is a paper/vinyl/vellum cutter. You can type any font from your computer and it will cut it out for you. Shapes, most def. It's so nifty for fun crafts and school projects! Here's part of what I've done today:


Nate and I finally used the last of our wedding gift cards (from 1.5 years ago) to purchase a few more pop-top containers. They are the best! We bought two to hold our types of cereal... You can see that we are children... Nate's choice: Captain Crunch Berry. My choice: Lucky Charms. Holler.


Not that we obviously wouldn't know our own types of cereal, but the labels are cute :) And it's a free font I downloaded from Kevin and Amanda's blog (Howser font).


EEEEEEE!!! Isn't Chloe's crate so much cuter now?! If you know Chloe at ALL, you know she is a deserving of a crown, at least in the way she acts. Total princess material :)


And our new, little ol' Oliver :) He got a bone with his crate. He's pretty simple (except when he is actually IN his crate... crying and whining... poor guy).


I used the same "Howser" font because it is so dang cute! I glass-etched bowls for their food/water, and I used a different font for those, so I'll try to take pictures of those later.

Tonight we are having a lock-in for the youth at the church to ring in the new year! A night full of food, games, and teenagers... all night... should be fun! Everyone have a safe and happy new year!

A little bit of Christmas and a surprise...

Back to share a few pictures from our very Merry Christmas with family and friends :)


There was lots of playing with our 2 year old nephew (pictured here with his dad... and Nate is striking a pose...?)


And lots of snuggle time with our little baby!

But a fun "gift" we received when we got home...


A new pup! This is Oliver :) He's an 8 month old Shih Tzu and we received him from a family who was not-so fond of dogs... he is the SWEETEST pup ever! He and Chloe have already become fast friends and like to follow each other around the house. He is not crate trained, so that is the only "hardship" we have with him for right now. He is super sweet and loving, and we are so glad Chloe has a friend to play with now!


This was NOT staged! Who ever thought our little, excited Chloe could lay still long enough with ANOTHER dog and take a nap?! Not I. It's amazing!

Merry Christmas from the Johnsons!
