Christmas Day 2021

In the morning Tom, Suzanne, and Jere joined us for brunch. We didn’t realize we would even be in town for this so Abe and I scrambled to improvise a menu. All of the stores except Walgreens were closed so it was, er, very carb heavy. But everyone seemed to have a good time!

After brunch everyone opened gifts from Tom and Suzanne. Clarissa was over the moon with her Polly Pocket unicorn castle. We all thought it was the most fitting gift for her, and it was fun to hear her periodically exclaim, “I love this gift!!”

After we cleaned up we let the kids play with all of their toys while we retreated to the basement to our new daybed and watched The Witcher. It was so cozy and lazy, which is exactly what I have wanted.

In the late afternoon the older girls and I headed to my mom’s and visited with her. I gave her a little foot massage while the girls chatted and showed her dances. I also set up her Netflix. I hope she finds some good shows that give her some fun.

In the evening Ammon and Clarissa entertained us with the best dances they had practiced during the day. And then everyone but me (who was exhausted on the couch, taking pictures) had a dance party. It was very entertaining to watch.

After we put the kids to bed we watched more of The Witcher. I know we say this about every series, but it might be our favorite of all time. We just love it.
