I'm hoping everyone had a wonderful and blessed holiday season! We had wonderful weather and were able to spend time with most of the family this year.
My mother-in-law hosted J's side again with all of us bringing in our favorite dishes to share. Unfortunately, one of her great granddaughters tested positive for Covid and, as she had spent the weekend before with her cousins, those two families were not able to join us. They were pretty disappointed but did join in with Facetime when Santa showed up. Here is our photo with old St. Nick!
I hosted Christmas Day again for my side of the family but this year we met at the local senior center so we could social distance better. I believe we had 32, as everyone was able to come!
One of my projects during the pandemic shutdown was to digitize old family photos. Years ago, for our parents' 50th anniversary, I had made a photo album. I decided to make copies of it to give to my brother and sister this Christmas. They REALLY enjoyed them and I was so happy to be able to give them! For table decorations, I made copies of some of our old photos (some were in the albums but most weren't) and scattered them around on the tables. It was so fun to talk about these memories and share them with our younger family members.
