We had an awesome Christmas, despite things being different this year. Kiddos got awesome presents from Santa, we ate yummy food and enjoyed Mass on the TV. Hopefully next year we will be back to normal....but we mad the bas of it!! 

 

Getting ready for Christmas! Things are different this year, but spending lots of quality time together! Kiddos and Chris have to more days of (online) school-I've already started break. Wahoo! 

 

 

All good vibes and getting excited for Christmas! Went and walked around some outdoor lights on Saturday, Em had her (recorded) holiday concert, drinking hot chocolate. Excited for one more week of school/work and then we are off!! (well, kind of, we have online school for two days next week). 

Killin' it in new holiday outfit (this picture does not doe all of the sparkles justice...)

Special treat with Mom 

Playing with kinetic sand (thank you for the gift Denise and Tom!)

Redecorated the Christmas tree 

yummy hot chocolate! 

I gotta say, I love these ages. The kids are starting to really enjoy playing together. I know it'll be short lived as Em will be a teen before we know it (she already thinks she is some days...) but I love seeing the bond they are forming!

 This Christmas we are being forced to slow down, but that's ok! We are making the best out of it and spending lots of quality family time together. Two more weeks of work/school and we are on break-can't wait! 

 

So much to be thankful for! These kiddos are the best, we had such an awesome break (no expectations, lots of down time). We were lucky to spend the holiday with at least our Moms (they are always over since they watch JoJo). The only "in person" shopping we did was to B. A. Sweeties (huge candy store!) and the kids had a blast. 

 

Made some yummy dog treats with Jordan, wore Christmas jammies, stayed around the house (because, you know, Covid). Only 2 days of work/school this week. WAHOOO!!
