Happy Birthday, Aunt KT!!!

 deLeon's for the birthday win!!! Abby was home from her freshman year at L&C...so fun to see her.

Birthday Projects and Chick-fil-A Initiation

Jeff made this coat rack for Katie's birthday this year!  He got these hooks from Dad's collection, when we asked for hooks to mismatch in the garage project.  Katie LOVED IT and eventually found a bench to sit beneath it in her entryway.

And Grace and I finally braved the LOOOOOONG Chic-fil-A line and brought home a fun new dinner for the family.  Forty minutes in line in the late afternoon...WORTH IT.  (The sauces!  I asked for too many...)

 

Quarantine Week 6? I'm losing track...

Sent G'ma Joan's quilt to her in the mail...another Covid Birthday! Ugh!

Hiked with the V's while we crate-trained Nessa for a spell.  She's not supposed to go out much until she gets her shots finished up...

Nessa LOVES Dexter, and they spend quality time together at the back fence.

Online church services were the thing on Sunday mornings!  Grace and Josh had Zoom SS classes!

The Eccleshalls found us one Sunday morning "going to" church.
 

More baths...until we learned that too many baths could dry out her skin.  Phew!  Those are hard work!

DutchBros--we must've needed an outing.  :)

Micah is learning to cook his own eggs!

Lots of piano "noodling" going on here.  Practice and online lessons, too!  :)

Jeff and Jon snuck away to ride bike a time or two...

Thanks to Ang and the family for the bday shirt! :)

Jeff's lap might be her favorite place to nap.  Smart girl, picking the lap that holds still the longest.

Josh had soccer practice via zoom--here he's listening to Mo as he describes the drill to do next.

Josh and Dad got to go on a bike ride and Micah's face is again a mess.

Lots of tasty dinners during quarantine--and grocery pick up!

Cousin Millie sent a hug in the mail, and we took a pic to send in return.

Katie came over with a bottle of wine!  So nice to have her live close by...

Shopping Day with Mom

Mom came up for her annual appointment the first Monday in December and Katie and I took the day off to shop with her!  I had to show her the new At Home store--she was impressed!--and we ate lunch at The Mustard Seed and shopped the mall.  It was SO FUN to be just us girls.  Next year we're inviting Kelly along!  AND, all was clear with Mom's annual checkup.  She's been cancer-free for TWELVE years, so they said that if cancer comes again it will not be considered a recurring cancer.  This is good news!
