December is usually so full of activities, events, parties and people. This year we are trying to find safe things to still have fun. But they definitely do not involve parties or people lol.
We had our first snow several weeks ago and the kids were so excited when they came down the stairs and saw snow out the windows. They immediately wanted to get dressed and go out in it, and I let them.
I did not realize until after he came back in that he did not put any clothes on under his snow bibs.
and of course with the first snow came the first batch of snow cream!
Our school had a drive up book fair, and the weather was nice enough that we placed our order and then walked up to school to get the kids books. They were so excited they couldn't wait until we got home to read them.
We made gingerbread houses and Parker loved his so much he wanted to put it in his room for decoration. Jackson ate it the minute he was alone in the house.
We did the Lights at the Mega Cavern in Louisville. We did this last year and the kids loved it, so we wanted to do it again. Instead of having dinner in a restaurant beforehand like last year, we had a picnic in the car.
We decorated Christmas cookies, which more dough and decorations were eaten than made I think.
We made popcorn garland, which the kids didn't have nearly as much patience with it as I had hoped. Philip and I finished them up for them and they hung them on the trees in their rooms.
And this beautiful girl got glasses!
She only needs them to read and be on computer and see up close. But are they not the cutest?!
We got to have dinner with Baby Charlotte (oh and her parents).
My Christmas lights got hung thanks to Philip and Daddy! and I am so happy.
TaTeTiToTu has made his re-entry into our household and the kids love seeing where he turns up every morning.
This Christmas will look different, but that doesnt mean it won't be full of love and joy. We may not get to see everyone we usually see, have the parties we usually have, or play the mud bowls we usually play. But we can sacrifice one year of those amazing family moments, to ensure we have many many more of them in the years to come. The vaccine started being distributed in KY yesterday, and we have our sleeves rolled up ready to get them as soon as we can.
Merry Covid Christmas:)
