Christmas 2020

Christmas wasn't that much different this year than any other year considering the pandemic of the coronavirus.

We had our usual BBQ dinner with Teresa bringing her exceptionally delicious deviled eggs.

Michael was able to take a few hours off work and showed up with his festive Christmas light necklace.

Melissa brought along a fruit salad and a delicious dessert.

After dinner, Violet, Lincoln and Hazel tore into the presents. I don't think they really knew what they were opening until all the wrapping paper was off the presents. Hazel spent most of her time cleaning up the mess. She's like me. Can't stand a mess. I couldn't tell who had more fun, me or the kids.

Each year I try to fill Michael, Melissa and Jamie's stockings with some type of unique gift. This year it was a gift certificate to DSW (for shoes), a shoe rack and a pair of socks. I found these cute Christmas ornaments which I thought would give them a hint.

All in all it was a great day. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

3,000,000 Steps

I finally finished walking my 3,000,000 step goal for 2020. That's approximately 1,500 miles.

I'm a little bummed that Michele finished hers about a week ago but after the year we've had, I don't mind coming in second. I'd like to say I'll increase my goal for 2021, but 3,000,000 was hard enough to get! Now I'm taking a nap.
