I better get this posted before January is over. We did our best to make December fun, even though we were missing all of the family events. Kate had her first high school choir concert. She also accompanied for the first time. That brought back a lot of memories! She did a great job! Sage had a mini dance performance. She's getting to be a good little dancer. Zack got his first job not for Jake. He works at the Soldier Hollow tubing hill. It's been good for him to see what other jobs are like, I think. And it was definitely good for him to have something to keep him busy over the break. Although, since school started he's still been working a lot. Like 30 hours/week on top of school! Too much I think, but he won't do anything about it. The kids wanted to decorate sugar cookies because they complained that they mistakenly didn't like it years ago and now they never get to make sugar cookies. I told them they were welcome to do it, but I wasn't helping. Jake was super nice and jumped in to help. And guess what happened? Yep, they decorated a couple of cookies and were ready to be done. Shocking. Hopefully this means we never have to make sugar cookies again. New Years was fine. We're not good at New Years here, especially during Covid. Too many introverts in this house. The girls invited a couple of friends over and they had good fun staying up until midnight. Jake went to bed at 10:00. I managed to stay awake and get everyone home. Oh yeah, I got my first Covid vaccine. I get my second one this week. So far I haven't gotten cancer or turned into a zombie, so things are looking good.

We keep working on the trailer. Well, mostly Jake does. It looks a lot different than this now. |

We did our annual food drive as a drive by food drive this year. Not nearly as successful, but still good |

Zack is always so detailed |

Proof that Jake wore Christmas antlers for a brief moment |
|
We did make it out to dinner. One Christmas tradition we accomplished |
|
One of Jake's subs gave him this minky blanket. It's so big and fluffy it's now my favorite blanket of all time. |

A beautiful pic of Midway with the Christmas star. No I didn't take it. |

I let the kids pick a Christmas treat to make. This was Sage's. She's currently obsessed with all things Oreo |
|
I've been taking care of a lot of Covid patients at work. This is what my face looks like after a few hours wearing a mask. |

New Years |
