Early December 2020 - Holiday fun, Christmas Decorations, Sonny and a Pandemic

 

December started at home...Katie was home from GMU for the remainder of the semester, not to return until January 23, 2021. Carleigh was back at UMW enjoying her off-campus apartment and finishing her semester in Fredericksburg. 

Don has decided to teach from the basement for the remainder of the time until the holiday vacation, so we are all just finding ways to enjoy this different holiday season!

I built our annual Christmas Village - Rahnville...

A beautiful December night ...

More Christmas decorations...and joy

The annual search for the perfect Christmas tree...

Time to decorate and celebrate all of our travels since we haven't had any recent adventures during this time.

New front porch decorations and two rocking chairs..

A much needed girls weekend and lots of relaxation...

Sonny loves his toys! He can't wait till Christmas and to see what Santa brings!!

Don turns 48 during the pandemic!

Sonny got his own ornament!

During this unprecedented time....

...We just keep watching the world go by and appreciate any beauty and joy we can find!

Snow is coming, Christmas is close and we're still in the midst of a Global Pandemic. 

Finding bits of holiday joy keeps us going as we continue to celebrate Seldom a Dull Moment!

November, 2020 - Sonny, An Election, Sonny, Thanksgiving and a Pandemic

November came and still no end in sight to the Pandemic. The conversations turned to how will we celebrate Thanksgiving and what fun can we create for ourselves during the month of November?

Carleigh and friends came up for a long weekend...and to play with Sonny!

Early voting for Carleigh!

Then the election day that we've all been waiting for came, Katie and Carleigh's first presidential election!

More Sonny!

Fun times with friends!

Katie comes home for a long weekend before Thanksgiving!

Carleigh is home for Thanksgiving!

Watching the Parade!

Thanksgiving was a very warm day this year! Perfect for some outdoor relaxation and open windows!

Happy #52 to Laura! Delicious cupcakes made by Katie! 

So...November closes with the world still in a Global Pandemic and the numbers rising. The holiday season will definitely look different this year as we all try to safe and protect each other. 

The challenge is on! Find joy and fun in the midst of all of this craziness...stay tuned to see how we accomplish that as
