We had all the grandparents over for Christmas this year and had a great time together. although we missed my brother and his family. (I thought I’d never hear the end of it from the kids!) Between all the cookie baking and frosting and appetizer prep there was a lot of work on our remodel, specifically getting the Duraboard on the fireplace. We had hopes of hanging the stockings in the regular spot Christmas Eve and I still held out hope I’d be able to set up the family room Christmas tree. In the end we celebrated Christmas in the basement, which ended up being just fine and saved quite a bit of extra last minute hassle.

We gave Papa one of his gifts early – Apple AirPod Pro 2’s, which also function as hearing aids. They’re awesome!
