Merry mid-week what day is it? My family has asked this countless times in the past week. Last week Chad & I were trying to figure out what day of the week Boxing day was going to be, and it took us about 10 minutes to pin that one down. With all the church services, and no school, every day feels like Sunday, or Saturday.... or is it Thursday? My Google now tells me both the date, and the day of the week in my morning routine!
We had a pretty good Christmas. We are used to not seeing family over the holidays, although the last few years we were close enough to my parents that they'd usually come up for Christmas. This year it felt weird since we are close enough to see Chad's family, but we weren't allowed to see them. We are doing lots of Zooms instead, which is better than nothing, but we can't wait to get together with family & friends... whenever that will be allowed again.
With Chad being busy with Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, & Sunday church we were still pretty busy. Because of the tighter restrictions we have to sign up to attend church in person, and I did not remember to do so before all the Christmas services got filled, so we waved Chad off, & watched them from home. That was definitely a weird feeling!
Then on Christmas day we opened our gifts. Did I take any pictures? Nope, not a single one. Asher's first gift was a WaterPik. He said, "This is a terrible present!" (Sums up 2020 pretty well though!) I told him, "It can only get better from here!" We got lots of new books to read which everyone was happy about.
I bought myself some really nice bunny slippers, wrapped them up, and boy, was I delighted to open them! Unfortunately they were too small, so Chancery is happy, and I have cold feet! Chad said that's what I deserve for buying myself a present.
The kids don't go back to school until Jan 11, so now we will have lots of time to bake, play games, & read. We're borrowing skates so the kids can take advantage of the ice rink that is just beside our neighbourhood, and we have lots of ski-doing that can be done on the lake. I'm appointing myself the hot chocolate maker so I can stay in the warm house!
