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!! 

 

I think we are all feeling, ick. We are sick of COVID (who isn't...) and Chris and I are super stressed at work (things just changing daily-we have awesome co-workers, but it's just a lot!) and I'm sure that is translating to being stressed at home. We are all ready for a break for sure!

Well, even I have to admit it is a little hard to feel Christmasy with 75 degree weather this weekend! We got to enjoy LOTS of time outside, and even put up the Christmas lights (who wants to wait until it is cold and snowy!). Jordan has finished up his quarantine and gets to be back to school this week (WAHOO!). He also gets new AFOs on Wednesday (he grew out of his current braces in August-so excited to have some that fit once again). Em got her cast off and now just has a brace for 2 weeks. She was really nervous about using her arm at first, but already getting stronger! Basketball starts Friday-she's excited! 

Em and Chris had "date" night on Sunday (church and Chipotle-what could be better?). 

We are all counting down the days until Thanksgiving break!  

 

Happy Halloween! Poor Jordan did not get to participate in the Halloween festivities due to being in quarantine (one of his teachers was diagnosed with Covid) but Em shared all of her candy. We totally started to decorate for Christmas on Sunday because we all needed a little joy in our lives...
