We had our final Christmas of the season on January 23rd. We were supposed to have it New Year's weekend, but our crew was all down with covid. A snow storm delayed it by another week, but regardless of when it is, it's always good to have family together. My energy has been really down since covid, so we invited everyone up to our house and they were gracious enough to come and spend the day with us.
We started with brunch, and then the kids scurried off to play for a bit because they were so excited to be together. Eventually they straggled back to the living room and asked about presents - as we were certain they would eventually - so we gathered round to exchange gifts.

A family gift of a leaf blower. So excited for this! The spilled birdseed in my garage is beckoning it's use.
Granny was sitting parallel to me with Mike between us, and I didn't do a good job of snagging her picture, unfortunately. We went together with Kea and Miguel and got her and Papa a Skylight frame and I was very excited to gift it to them. I hope they get a lot of enjoyment from it.
After gifts there were new games to play, Legos to put together, books to read, visiting to do, and snacks to eat. But first, a few pictures....

We had our traditional taco ring/Americanized Mexican Christmas dinner for supper, which is always a highlight and a huge hit, and then it was, all too soon, time for our families to pack up to head back to Missouri. It was a fast day, but we're so thankful we got it!
