Johnson's Christmas Party

Here we are at my Aunt Jill & Uncle Ed's place. Here's my Mom and Aunt Sarah. When the rats showed up, they appeared less than pleased, and pretty much stuck to those chairs until the rats disappeared.

So we started playing Euchre. Here's my cousins Mindy and Deb. I was on Mindy's team, Deb was with Sven.

We had two games of euchre going on. Here's the other table. Julie and Becky vs. Tim and Dirk. Our family plays a lot of euchre.

Here's my sister, Amy, and my Aunt Nancy.

Here's my mom and Aunt Sarah again. Aunt Sarah is mom to Tim, Steve, Mindy, & Becky (plus Julie, who wasn't there she was back in Iowa).

Here's my Aunt Jill and my Grandma.

At this point, my younger cousins have gotten a hold of my camera (the previous photos were all taken by my dad, who was interested in checking out the camera.). So we're playing euchre, and my Aunt Nancy is asking me about digital video cameras and DVD burnering.

Here's the living room. While euchre was going on, the adults sat around and talked.

And now those rats I was talking about.

The rats were actually pretty kewl... as far as rats go.

It's on Julie's shoulder now.

Once again, the problem with acting retarded in pictures is that long after you remember why you acted that way, the picture remains, and you look retarded. It's funny cause it's not me.

Here's Drew.

So yeah, I think I took a total of 2 pictures this day, but I ended up with about 30 pictures. It's funny that way. Here's Becky.

Here we are playing euchre again. My dad watched for a while, and we proceeded to mock everyone mercilessly. It was wonderful. You can see me coughing there... I'm allergic to cats, and so as the day went on, my throat got smaller and smaller. By dinner, I was weezing pretty bad... and then I died.

Looks like they were playing flux.

Here's Becky and Drew.

Becky and Drew again.

Classic Sven shot here.

Sven and Julie. You don't want to know how many of these Julie was unsatisfied with... then she managed to delete the one she did like.

Again.

Mindy and Becky.

Yeah. It would appear my camera had a pretty good time.

Mindy, Becky, and Deb.

It took some effort on Sven's part, but we got a shot of Deb.

The 2nd attempt was less successful.

We got one last game of euchre in, and Sven and I teamed up. There were no survivors.

family picture time. Here's me dorking up the timer again. You'll note the lack of Ron in this one.

There, better.
