The Johnson Family 2008Spencer - Shelly - Gavin - Annalee - Doran - Ryan - Malia - Derek
Dear wonderful family and friends,
What a glorious Christmas week!
We hope you and your family have relished time to relax, read Christmas stories
with hot chocolate,
sleep in, reflect on the miraculous birth and life of Jesus Christ,
and be with loved ones! What a blessing.
Thank you for all your christmas wishes and photos!
During the holidays, the kids race to our mailbox to collect the Christmas cards!
This year, we opted for the easy way out and put up a brief youtube video capturing
our family's new passion this season--ice blocking in Texas.

Johnson nativity video (and yes, that is a koala Annalee is holding--
at the moment the doll we planned for Baby Jesus was no where to be found.
But Annalee looks at it so adoringly, it is cute.)

The Joy and Simi Vadakkan family's journey from India and Kuwait to temples in Texas
and Utah to be sealed as a family for time and all eternity (aka "Operation Miracle")

We want each of you to know our limited communication with many of you doesn't
begin to reflect how much we think about you, pray for your happiness and cherish
the memories we have together! (We keep wishing we were better at communication;
maybe 2009 will be the year)
Life just keeps moving along at a dizzying pace; each day presents a golden
opportunity to learn, progress and grow. May we all make the most of each day this
coming year.
Lots of love,
Doran and Shelly
Ryan, Malia, Gavin, Derek, Spencer and Annalee
Jesse (our Cavalier) and Violet (our Irish Water Spaniel)
