We decided to take a short trip home for Christmas. Our daughter had already been vaccinated and she keep her house germ free for 2 weeks before our visit.

We got a friend to watch over little Smokey

DISCLAIMER – I can’t spell worth a dime and this website had an upgrade since the last time I used it. Guess what they got rid of? The spell checker! I’m not the only one complaining. So if you can’t figure out what I am trying to say, just guess.

The whole Christmas season was different. The kids couldn’t have a face to face with Santa this year, but at least they could vist him in comfortable clothes.

Baking cookies was pretty much the same, even the dog helped this year.

Decorating the tree was the same….and so were the pile of presents

Christmas family dinner was a little different, some of us wore masks.

And some of us didn’t

Of course the best part of Christmas is opening the gifts.

And when the gifts are all opened, you just need to find nice table to put your tablet on and relax a little

We take a picture every Christmas morning, this year two of our family members couldn’t be there so we had them visit us remotely. (BTW, I have no idea what the little one is looking at LOL) The Christmas of 2020 was different but still filled with love and joy.

Hopefully soon, we’ll be able to have a nice long visit full of lots of hugs.
