Today was such a good day. For the first time in months, things actually felt like normal. We were able to forget about covid and be together with Steve and Patti to celebrate Christmas. Now, it wasn't totally normal because Steve and Patti had to quarantine ahead of time, and Tom and Sara weren't there, but for this one wonderful day, we got to visit with our family, share a meal together, and catch up for all the time apart this year. Grandma went overboard with the presents again this year, and we opened countless beautiful gifts. Simon got a train table, Olivia got an amazing HUGE Barbie house, Nolan got the Ring Fit Adventure for his Nintendo Switch, and Eric and I got money toward a new couch. Olivia also received a special doll from Great Grandma Ruby - one from Czechslovakia that she got at the World Fair in Chicago over forty years ago! We ate prime rib, which Eric cooked perfectly. The kids built an amazing snowman with Grandpa (Albert) that we're hoping will last the whole winter! It was just such a wonderful, cozy day with family that has been so rare lately. It was a great kick off to our Christmas celebrations.
