Christmas!!

Covid has made Christmas quiet, isolated, and weird. It was nice to have SuperCheese and Heather come up and help make things interesting.

We played a small, but fun Reindeer Game.

Chayo and Irma made delicious pork tacos for Noche Buena.

DeA put on her comfiest pjs. 

Leo did his normal lazy thing.

The tree with the presents at 1am. Next year we are giving the kids Benadryl at 7pm so that DeA and I can get to bed earlier. 

5:30am was as late as this crew could wait.

She's never looked more sexy.

A cute homemade doll that Maddy made!

Ryker was very excited to get a cotton candy machine. We immediately had to try and get it going.

A bullet casing helicopter. Perfect.

 Mom got a fancy herb grower machine. 

More cotton candy!!

Later in the morning we got a pretty snow storm. 

The gyms have been closed almost all year, and it's getting harder to come up with things to do in the basement. I got DeA a pull-up bar and a bar for her bands. Her first words? "You aren't installing them, are you? I don't want them to fall". So I spent a chunk of the afternoon proving her wrong. 

The cotton candy machine seems to have found a new home next to the ice cream machine. Gpa just needs a corn dog maker and he's got himself a carnival. 

We were pretty tired from the early morning, and I didn't get a nap after putting up the pull-up bar, but we had a nice and relaxing evening watching football.
