Christmas 2020

We were so blessed to be able to have both my mom and Scott’s dad with us for Christmas dinner. We followed the same protocols as Thanksgiving and had a safe and special evening together filled with love, seafood, champagne, cookies and eggnog! Here’s some of the highlights:

Jim cracking crab legs for our appetizer
Mom and I toasting with champagne
Mom and Jim enjoying crab Louie salads, lobster tails and sourdough bread
Scott getting ready to dig in!
Sarah, our neighbor, brought us a freshly made loaf of her amazing herbed sourdough!
Jim enjoying his martini and crab Louie
Retiring to the living room for presents and dessert by the tree
Our parents opening their gifts
Talking to Aunt Nora and Uncle Harry on FaceTime
This was only the second Christmas in their lives my aunt and mom were not together.
Scott’s delicious cookies and Bruce’s (our neighbor) potent eggnog–a nice combo!
Theo and the lovely Christmas Amaryllis the morning after Christmas

We are grateful that we were able to make this special memory together to mark the end of this crazy year. So far everyone is staying healthy in our family and we pray for that to continue as we do our best to stay connected and protected. We hope you were able to celebrate Christmas in your own meaningful ways. We pray for those who have suffered loss and illness during this pandemic and that it will soon be behind us.

When we began this fateful year, a rainbow appeared on January 1st over our house:

On November 18, another rainbow appeared:

I take this as a good omen that the storm is about to pass and the Light will return soon. In the meantime, take good care and stay connected and protected.
