We went home for 3 weeks for Christmas. The longest we have ever gone and we sure had a great time.
It was so fun being back in the mountains. It is something I always took for granted growing up and now I just love it when we get a chance to get out.
Sofie's first attempt at skiing with Grandma Nancy. She was really concentrating it was pretty fun to watch her try to figure it out.
Sofie was of coarse spoiled rotten by all her grandma's and aunts and uncles. She was still a little scared of Santa this year but she sure had her list of thing she wanted from Santa.
Here is a cute picture of Sofie and her Cousin Boston in their buckeye apparel.

We took a really fun snowshoeing- a little Johnson tradition- to a yurt in Idaho. Of coarse I have to say thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Johnson who sacrificed going on the fun trip to watch our little tots.
Sofie actually got to see all of her cousin's on both sides. I just love it when the cousin's get together. I got to see all but 2 of my sisters and we got to see all but 2 of Spencer's brothers.
Spencer turned the big 30 while we were home. His mom got him this hat because he got a 46" plasma for the big event.
I got to see my grandparents this visit which was a real treat since I hardly ever get to see them. This is a 4 generation picture.
So my last thing is a shout our for these little figurines. So Sofie's friend Emma had these little figurines and Sofie just loved playing with them whenever she went over to play. So that is what she got for Christmas and I am not kidding when I say these have been the best purchase in regards to toys yet. I would see these at the Disney store and think "how boring" but we traveled 30+ hours in the car alone this trip and these dolls saved our lives.

I am glad that she likes her princesses as much as she likes Emma's!They really are the best toys. Emma still plays with hers everyday and we have had them for like 2 years.
It looks like you guys had a great time. It made me miss home! We are glad that you are back. Emma can't wait til Thursday to show Sofie all her new stuff!
It looks like you had a great trip! I can't believe how big Sofie is getting. We miss you guys so much! Tell Spencer Happy Birthday from us and that he is an old man!
Cute pictures! I had no idea there were yurts in Idaho--sounds fun. And I love that Dino museum, Thanksgiving Point, right? The kids always have a blast there.
Does your family still live in Oregon? I'm glad that you were able to see so much family and had a great time over Christmas. You guys do lots of fun stuff, that is awesome.
Hey Stephanie,
Thanks for the note on my blog. I often check out your blog via Anne's as well. We are loving our time in China. So are you hoping to head back out west to settle?
Just so you know, Sofie has been telling us all about her princess dolls, so we know they were a hit! Oh, and we may have to invite ourselves over to watch something on your giant new T.V. Tell Spencer thanks for getting a present we can all enjoy! He is so thoughtful!
I just finished posting our trip to Idaho,and it made me miss you and Spencer. It was just so fun being with you. The picture of you guys in the sunset turned out so good. I hope you are adjusting to be home. I feel like we are finally getting adjusted. My mom said you were potty training Sofie. I hope it is working. Talk to you later. Loves

I am glad you had a fun Christmas. I can't believe spencer is "30". How old!!! Just kidding
Miss you
It looks like you had a lot of fun! We miss you!
Looks like you had a great time. I've never tried snowshoeing but I thought it would be fun sometime. We may have to invoke a Pre-travel rule so we aren't so close to each other without knowing it. On our way home I thought to myself I sure hope no one else came here for Christmas because I never got in touch to let anyone know. Oops.
Your pictures are all great! I am glad you had such a great Christmas. It feels like that was such a long time ago... kinda sad.
I just had to thank you for your last comment on my blog. I have to say it really made my day, and gave a great boost. You have always been the nicest friend, and I just remember no matter what, when ever I would run into you, you always had a smile. And I think you have everything backwards..... You are such a natural beauty, I would give anything to look like you!!!! Your gorgeous!!!!!
Thanks again!
Jill
