Watch Out Weather Channel

123008_WeatherPersonBlog.jpg
Leah loves the Weather Channel (apparently it skips
a generation). She was super-excited to do the weather
report while we were at the Children's Museum with Laura,
Dave, and Nathan.

There are few things that warm my heart as much as my husband
and daughter baking my birthday cake together.

Cookies and Caleb

122408_ChristmasCookiesLeahCBlog.jpg
Only Uncle Caleb had the patience to help Leah decorate her sheet
of the Johnson family Christmas cookies. We ended up baking a
sheet of colored sugar with a few cookies buried underneath. Leah
thought the whole process and Uncle Caleb were fabulous.

The Nutcracker

122308_GirlsNutcrackerBlog.jpg
The women of the Johnson family decided to brave the Nutcracker in a
snowstorm with a 4 year old. It was a success! We got there and back
safely, it wasn't as boring or long as I remembered, and Leah LOVED it.
She's been performing her own version on the basement stage. (She
dances, she assembles scenery and props, and she emotes all over the
place. I can definitely see a future for her in the performing arts. Anyway,
this is my favorite picture of us as we're heading out. I acknowledge that
I'm hardly in it, so I've included a second not-as-good one too.
