It’s Christmas Eve and time to take a look at what’s in those Christmas stockings.
Okay…open the stockings!

Best Christmas Present Ever

Jackie and I slept in the living room on Christmas Eve. Sarah was in active labor and planning a home birth. We were eagerly awaiting the midwife’s invitation to come into the room and participate in the birth Early Christmas morning, with tears in our eyes, we joyfully welcomed baby boy Johnson!

(I was thrilled when the midwife asked if I wanted to catch the baby. What an awesome experience to meet this little guy and hand him to his mama! ) The midwife later called me a “Thatcher Catcher!”)

Welcome beautiful boy!

I got to choose my cast colors. I chose pink for Myra and yellow for Thor—their favorite colors!
The revelation of the cast color.😊
I get to enjoy this beautiful little boy in spite of my broken wrist!

The annual Johnson hula hoop competition was a fun and competitive event!

First was the timed event. Who can keep that hoop going for the longest time?
Go G-Mom with the broken wrist!
Not too bad G-Top!
Gold, silver and bronze medalists! Minus Tatcher of course!
The second event was the most artistic performance with the hoola hoop.
Way to go Knox! Looking good!
Sarah draws the others in to enhance her artistic routine. You go Sarah! Wait! Didn’t you just have a baby??

It was a very full and wonderful Christmas here at the Johnsons. Our Christmas presents to each of the grand kids was a unique special day adventure with G-Top and G-Mom. We are excited to spend individual time with these beautiful children!
