We welcomed January with expectation and hope.... and are looking forward to this new year!
Here's a photo montage of our month, which (like all of the months of the pandemic) went by both painfully slow and super fast!!😁
God's child. Doug's wife. Evelyn and Matthew's mom. Doing my best to enjoy (and capture on film and in words) our fortunate life.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Such a different day this year with COVID. BUT... Jesus was still born.. so we could live!
Here is a photo log of our day. I didn't take as many photos as I usually do, but we had a lovely day!
Stockings are always first, and alway filled with fun stuff...
The kids got me a foaming hand soap refill.. the BEST gift during the pandemic!!
So... we are not a "gaming" family.. by choice. Evelyn has never really been into them (nor has Doug or I), and although Matthew would LOVE it, we aren't ready to swim into those waters yet. BUT... our football loving boy LOVES to play Madden with his buddy Cannon and talks about it all the time. We decided for Christmas this year we would upgrade our family PC with a larger hard drive and video card, and then purchase Madden 21 for PC as Matthew's "big" gift.
Blogger won't let me load the video of him opening his present (we got him a controller and then printed off the cover of Madden 21), but I can assure you it was one of the most sweetest moments to see as his mom. He was overjoyed.. and completly shocked!
Oh, how I love this Christmas crew!!
Merry Christmas to you all!!
It's Christmas Eve!!
We had a quiet morning, then enjoyed time with mom and Doug, watching our church's candlelight service together, enjoying the company, and of course, opening gifts! 😀
We didn't get to do a "Jody/Lori Christmas" this year due to COVID, but the kids were so thrilled with the gifts they got for them. We are so fortunate to have friends who love on our kid so well!
