Christmas Week 2020

     Merry Christmas! It's been a fine week and our Christmas was great. Nothing too crazy but everyone got what they asked for and seem satisfied.

Charlie made this cute snowman in our neighbors backyard while we enjoyed a visit around their burn barrel.

We had a fun visit with our fun friend, Linda. She's the queen of Christmas decor!

She's got all the fun things.

A gingerbread house already constructed was genius but there were still tears and discouragement.

Not too bad for what they had to work with.

McClane and Charlie each had their own half to work on.

Our ward still managed to put on the traditional Christmas eve program, Covid style, and McClane and Charlie were shepherds.

Christmas Eve pajamas. There were some initial sizing issues but we worked it out. (McClane's might have been a little too snug.)

I love this time of night. The lighting is the perfect amount of highlighting and the prettiest shades of blue.

The sibling gift exchange is always a highlight.

Isaac and Brock were our only circle.

Doesn't Carter have such pretty hair!?

Brock got all the things he was hoping for and more.

McClane also was thrilled with all his stuff.

And Charlie is obsessed with giving gifts and especially enjoys making little things for Mark.

The Wendel's joined us and baby Beau kept us all busy unwrapping any and all chocolate candy she could find.

And Greg got me a nice little space heater and candy so I'm all set for the winter. 

     I would be wearing matching pjs with the kids but I had to donate my pair to McClane, ha ha. I think Brock will donate his pair to me after Christmas is over since he doesn't normally wear pajamas so it's all good. 

      It's been a fun day/week. We're still looking forward to another week off of school and I'm sure these kids will find plenty of time to enjoy their new Christmas gifts. Don't forget to say "Jumanji" New Years Eve so we can hopefully get out of this messy year 2020 has been.
