Making Merry

We had our family Christmas get together today in spite of all the snow. Regrettably, my sister Penny and her husband Andy couldn't make it down from their home in the Columbia Gorge due to the inclement weather. We missed them along with her son Daniel & his kids and Andy's daughter Holly & family. It's our tradition to have homemade clam chowder just before Xmas. We also had ham sandwiches on homemade rolls, potato salad, baked beans, several varieties of pie, and lots of cookies!

Here's Ma and Pa Mitchell just after a smooch:

Thanks for all the pictures of a snowy family Christmas get-together! It looks and sounds like great fun! We are pretty much snowed in over here in SW Portland. Don't know if we will get together even for Christmas Eve. Hope you have a Merry One! Love, Cousin Jan
