Johnson Family Christmas

Asher John decided to surprise us all by coming early, which meant we pushed back our Christmas celebration until he was a bit older and doing well. Two weekends ago we got together to celebrate not only our family Christmas, but Manda's 28th birthday too. Of course the main attraction was AJ #2 and all of his cuteness. He was lots of fun to snuggle with and it was great to see him once again.
Asher was wide awake and checking us out. How fun! I'm still beyond surprised that Asher and I weren't covered with the punch Anthony insisted on drinking and holding himself!
Hi, Uncle Mark. I love you!
AJ #1 was sure to check out AJ #2 and make sure everything was working properly.
Grandma Kathy enjoying some seriously good punch and posing for the camera.
Dad operating on our delicious turkey dinner.
Anthony LOVES his Uncle Erik. He especially LOVES Uncle Erik's great phone that plays music. Luckily for him, his uncle is always up for him touching everything, taking pictures and jamming out to cool tunes.
Even though dinner was just about to be served, Anthony drove his birthday auntie, baby cousin and Spiderman to McDonalds to get some lunch.

A sure sign that I am getting older is the fact that our time together wasn't based on the Christmas presents. It didn't matter that we weren't together on the actual day; what mattered most was that we were able to spend time together. Plain, old fashion family time. I loved it!

I didn't even think of the fact that your family has 2 AJs!! They will have so much fun growing up together as cousins! Love the photos, he is a handsome little guy, both of them!
