Christmas morning

We had a lovely Christmas morning.  It definitely felt different knowing we would be by ourselves all day but it was still a great day. 

 

It started with Colt & Darby reading the Christmas story from the Bible. 

 

Then we opened presents.  

Christmas Eve dinner

I tested positive for COVID the Wednesday before Christmas.   Such a bummer!  I cried a lot and then I was able to reframe my expectations for our Christmas.   Angie & Shirley dropped off food for Christmas Eve because our original plan was to spend it with them.  

We had a delicious Christmas Eve dinner, although I just had some chicken noodle soup because that is all I could tolerate. 

 

Gaffigan

A few weeks ago Brad and I went to see Jim Gaffigan at the Paramount. It was a fun night out in Seattle and it was fun to go to a comedy show together.  

Sidelines

Darby went to the high school basketball game a few weeks ago and was invited to sit on the sidelines.  She had a blast. 

Winter Band Concert

Ollie had a band concert a few weeks ago.    It was fun to watch him perform....although we had to listen more than watch since he was in the back of the stage.  

Giant Gingerbread Man

We received this giant gingerbread man from the Welke family.  It was extra fun when we realized you had to smash it to see what was inside. 

Halt! Shalom.

We went to the drive thru nativity at Calvary Chapel.  It is my absolute favorite  Christmas activity.   The kids know what is going to happen every time but it is still so neat to see these people put on this show.
