Thanksgiving 2020

Happy Thanksgiving!

Due to COVID, we know the holidays are going to look different and we are trying to embrace them with joy nonetheless. Thanksgiving was a little different but we still enjoyed our day. 

We have spent time with my mom and her husband during the past 8 months, as we both have been taking similar precautions and COVID safely measures. But due the the uptick in new cases and the fact that we would be indoors (we were thankful for a lovely summer and early fall that we could spend time with them mostly outdoors) I still was concerned, mostly for their safely. Evelyn and Matthew REALLY wanted to spend Thanksgiving with more than just us four. So much so that they gave up seeing our "bubble friends" and doing other things for two weeks so we could be as safe as possible spending the holiday with them. We all pretty much self quarantined at home other than doing essential errands for two weeks just to be safe. I am thankful we are in a position to do that with the kids doing online school and Doug working from home. 

We ended up having a lovely time with my mom and Doug. Here is a few photos from the day...

Morning walk with Matthew... good for both of us!

The kids headed to the garage to get in the car when it was time to go to my mom's. Doug and I came out a few moments later and found this... haha!! It's crazy to think that in five years BOTH kids will have their driver's license!!

A bad "us-ie"...one day I will learn how to do better at this!

Doug making cosmo's..

...they were delish!

One of several desserts for the evening. We ate VERY well today!

Playing chess while dinner was finishing up...

Mom's pretty table

These two... such great and gracious hosts. They both worked hard to make an amazing meal. 

Sadly I didn't take more photos.. but we thoroughly enjoyed our time with my mom and are thankful for time with them... and thankful for all that the Lord has blessed us with. 

Happy Thanksgiving!
