We made gingerbread houses with Grandma and the cousins over Zoom.
Timothy turned 18 and one of his gifts was a quilt I made from his baseball uniforms.I spent a lot of time planning this year: consolidating errands, creating more handmade things, shopping away from crowds, finding good music, and organizing creative ways to visit and give safely.My brother Joe and his family delivered their gifts to our porch with a song.Richard was awarded a patent. On the plaque, he is titled, “Inventor.”Christmas Eve Zoom CallGrandma Ruth really liked her Squirrel calendar and held it up to the screen for a good 5 minutes.Our dog is really showing his age right now. He is cold and off-balance, confused, and nervous. Some days are better than others. Aging stinks.Small celebrations call for selfies.With nowhere to go, we gave enormous Lego sets to keep everyone busy.I made nachos instead of turkey on Christmas Day. I made beautiful dinners each Sunday, but Richard decided to photograph this meal from every angle. 😀 Everyone lingered and smiled through this gathering. Mark is sporting new contact lenses this month. He is thrilled!
