We had a white Christmas!








This was one of the most amazing Christmas Season that I can remember! Not only was it a white one, but the first Christmas that Henry and I were grandparents. McKenzie really added the special holiday spirit back into the Johnson home, not that we didn't have it before but something about having a little one around kinda adds to the spirit of the season. Henry and I have spent 27 Christmases together and each one of them have been special. Our first was in Wyoming, where Christmas trees are far and few inbetween(not many that grow wild there, an no Christmas tree farms! Our first was a Charlie Brown tree, we found a Ponderosa Pine with 7 tree limbs, by the time we got it home it had 5! Our tree stand was a 5 gallon bucket and we had to tie fishing string and tack the limbs to the wall so it would stand up straight. I still have the 6 ornaments that we had for that tree, tradition is that those 6 goe on top of our tree each year.

First attempt at something new BLOGGING!



Okay here we go my first attempt at posting a blog on my blogsite, humm wonder why such a terrible sounding word for this, maybe because I feel like I am just blogging trying to attempt something new. This picture is one of my favorite 4 legged friends Hershey!
