New Year!

 We spent a quiet Christmas . The girls visited us that day to open gifts from us but remained socially distant and wore a mask to protect on another. I enjoyed decorating for Christmas this year. So much so everything is still up a month later. I will eventually take it down. But in the mean time you can get a peek into my familyroom. 

I fixed breakfast for Nicki and later in the day when Quisha came I gave her dinner to take home. That evening we watched to twins open gifts and Zoomed with the family as they opened gifts. Lord willing this year we will be able to be together, all at one house together. 

Yep! Christmas was definitely different. 

Inauguration Day I made Chili ahead of time so that I..

Could spend the day on this couch watching the updates throughout the day (anyone besides me breath a sigh of relief when the ceremony was all over?). 

My daughter made us t-shirts and mask for the occasion LOL 

The President just before he entered the White House!! Woohoo! It was a great day and a great way to start the year (at least among my family and friends). 

A Different Kind of Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving 2020 was so different from anything you could have told me. Not being able to spend it with extended family was bad enough. 

But I never thought I would passing food to my children on the front porch instead of having them in to visit. 

Or that the kids would be making their own meals. This was a boneless turkey breast that my daughter Q made. 

I made my usual as if I was still preparing for a house full. SMH 

My Son In Law and my daughter Nicki made Thanksgiving dinner at home for the first time as a married couple. I think my SIL enjoyed making his turkey. I know it looked better then the one I made at Christmas. LOL  We did Zoom with the family later that day but it was just not the same.
