We spent the past six days in Ephrata with the Johnson crew and had a lovely time!

Mitch was rarely still, but he did take a break to admire the falling snow.

He and Haylee bundled up and went outside with Jack to build snowmen.

Here's the crew out for a snowy stroll.

Despite the scowly face, he loved the sled and got antsy if we stopped.

We went to the Christmas Eve service sporting a new sweater from Great Grama Allstot. Note also the festive red and green bruising on his forehead. Poor guy should wear a helmet!

Christmas Eve revelers.

Post-fondue near coma. Thank goodness for elastic!

The patriarch.

Christmas morning gift mayhem was almost too much! We were showered with generosity and the kiddos were overloaded with stimuli.

Jack was elated with his Star Wars legos.

A rare moment of camaraderie. These two are ultra-competitive and Mitch got schooled by little Miss Haylee more than once. Soon enough brute force will be part of his arsenal, but for now he'll have to keep running!
