Family Reunion in Park City

Warning: This may be a very picture-filled post because I have about 500 pictures from this trip and it's going to be tough to narrow them down. I'll do my best to summarize and put the rest in a Facebook album.

Last year my mom and I decided that we needed to make a "Johnson" family reunion happen this Christmas. We all went on a cruise 6 years ago and it was so much fun but it's been that long since we have all been in the same place at the same time and so much has happened since then! Thankfully, everyone was able to work out their busy schedules and make their way to snowy Park City, UT for a fantastic, fun-filled, five days. The crew came from Georgia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Florida and California to be together. Our grandmother treated us to this fabulous vacation and we are so thankful to her for it!

Here is the whole crew:
For most, the days were spent exploring the slopes on ski or snowboard. Since I am not super fond of skiing, I was able to make it to the spa for a hot stone massage one day. The rest of the time was spent with Laila, my mom and Mimi and anyone else who wasn't skiing at the time.
One day my mom, Mimi, Laila and I all went up in the gondola to meet everyone for lunch and take some photos. We got some really great shots and had a really fun time!
My cousin Jenee' has a 20 month old named Lucy who I had yet to meet before this trip. We had so much fun meeting each other's little girls and having them "play" with each other! We dressed them up in their snowsuits and threw them in the snow for a few photos. They were not very cooperative but we gave them a break since it was about 4 degrees outside :)
There are so many more photos but I'll leave it to the Facebook album to show the rest! Needless to say we had an amazing time and hope we can all be together again sometime very soon! We love you all!

I don't like skiing either so glad to hear I am not the only one! And Laila is super cute in her snowsuit.
