What an amazing holiday weekend! We were blessed with the kids all being home, COVID free and amazing food and friends. Not mention, LOTS of football and Christmas movies.
A few highlights....
Movies - Die Hard, Elf, Four Christmas's, Home Alone 2, Grinch ...
Food - Smoked Seafood Chowder, Appies, 7 layer salad, prime rib, Bill's famous pasta sauce with sausage, 3 HUGE loaves of challah bread, banana bread, coffee cake, home made cookies
Football - Packers win, Vikings do not
Kids - Jimmy played in all the Christmas Eve services, Kay hung out and watched movies with us, Billy started a job at Tracy's work in the Rec department and also helping with maintenance
The kids got everything they ever wanted thanks to the generosity of Grandma and Grandpa. In fact, Kay was SO in love with her new Nike Air high tops that it almost brought Tracy to tears. She was so grateful and kept saying "Mom, these are amazing!!!" Tom gave Tracy a TON of winter gear that all led up to a dog sled/yurt weekend in late January. I can not wait!! Tracy gave Tom all RV related items with a heavy emphasis on cassette tapes - Journey, Springsteen, Lyle, Jimmy Buffet, Mary C - we cant wait to put on the road trip sound track for our next camping trip.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, stays healthy, took care of yourselves, got sleep and know you are loved.
