We've almost made it to the end of the year, yippee!! I think this year has been filled with everything. Started out so well and then changed dramatically in ways that no one could have expected. We have adapted and hopefully grown in good ways. I'm grateful for the time we had together during quarantine. We had fun making videos and playing together. There were difficult times, but I'm grateful for our friends and family that helped us through.
This month we had lots of fun! Our pre Christmas trip to Branson, MO was super great and we are grateful to grandma and grandpa for letting us go. We had a quiet Christmas, but enjoyed time together. We went up to CF the day after Christmas to spend the day and it was nice to see my parents. They were so excited to see us too!
