With the boys finishing their school work most days around lunchtime, there was never a dull moment.
Lacey was spayed the beginning of the month and she did great. While she was pitiful that day, she was basically back to normal the following day. Keeping her from running and jumping for two weeks was super hard!
Remote learning at the cabin
Our happy place
Lacey does fantastic on the trips to and from the cabin each week. She is a road warrior, just like the boys!
Caleb was so excited to get her a pup cup at Starbucks
We went to Turkey Run park on the 21st to view the Christmas Star. Hard to believe that it showed up so well with just my phone's camera!
After watching Elf, the boys were desperate to try spaghetti with syrup!
Christmas Eve
Normally we make the rounds on Christmas Eve with two very large extended family meals but obviously with Covid that didn't happen this year. Because the boys had been home and our contacts were very limited, we wore masks and visited both Grandma and Grandaddy as well as Marshma and Papa that day.
Luke found Creed's wooden rocking chair from when he was little and put it on his hoverboard... I was just happy to find him wearing a helmet!
After the boys went to bed, Santa got busy...
Christmas Morning
The boys were so sweet and wanted to get each other a gift- Caleb gave Luke an Echo Dot and Luke gave Caleb a pair of Shady Rays.
Caleb's number one wish this year was a cross pendant.
Grandma Beth and Peepaw sent Lacey a Wisdom Panel DNA kit...
Creed got the best gift from his mother in law... haha
Lacey is quite the snuggle bug...
New Years Eve at the cabin always calls for Monopoly!
2020...
While 2020 was hard in so many ways, we tried to make the very best of the situation. Being able to walk to both sets of my grandparents houses and visit outside on their porch is something we are thankful for. The boys also loved running down the hill to Grandmom and Grandpa's cabin each weekend.
The boys are at incredibly sweet and FUN ages, and really made this year a blast. Watching their bond and friendship grow this year was awesome! They both did incredibly well with remote learning and actually prefer it to attending school in person during the pandemic.
We were able to get in two trips to Colorado before the shut down and then had the boat in the water from March until November. We were able to spend more time on the water, and therefore explored parts of the lake we hadn't been to before. Since we felt safe being outside, we were still able to spend the summer with friends at the lake.
We learned this year that we are really good at social distancing.
It was also very apparent that we have so much to be thankful for, even during the hard times.
Looking forward to 2021...
