Despite a challenging year, we were able to celebrate a wonderful Christmas season. It was so nice to have Julia home--even more enjoyable when we didn't have to wear masks and have the windows open (5 days?). We went car shopping and settled on the BMW X2. The Buick has been serviced and is ready for Julia to take back to St. Paul.
Mom held another fantastic gingerbread house decorating party--outside and masked. We were fortunate to have a warm 60-ish day, and the rain didn't stop us. It was so nice to connect with everyone. Thanks, Mom! We visited the Capitol Christmas tree. Laura and Emmie sent a Christmas cookie box, which Julia and Steven thoroughly enjoyed.
Christmas was low-key. We got Steven an under-the-desk bicycle; I readily fell asleep while trying it out. :) We are just happy and thankful to be together, safe, and healthy.
