Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a lot like Easter this year, home - just the four of us - but with a complete, delicious meal provided by the heavenly angels known as Donna and Emil!  

Breakfast burritos

I love it when he lays with his legs straight out like this

He unmakes the bed until it is a total disaster and then lays down

Mario tennis with the Switch remotes (like wii, but not)

Donna and Emil thought of everything - appetizers, sparkling grape juice, even turkey napkins!  We are so blessed!  Thankful!

 

Got out my grandmother's table cloth (love you Grandma!) and our wedding china to make things feel festive.

The next day was a day for Christmas decorating - look at these two and their teamwork.

It turns out that you can have ANYTHING delivered, even a live Christmas tree!  Why would you ever leave the house again?

Festive sloth Santa is back out - yay

Christmas cookie season has officially begun

Claire is the best at putting up ornaments and decorating.

Matt did a great job decorating the outside of the house

In the back garage man cave

Claire's school set up offers a wonderful view through the windows, of the Christmas tree, and of the fireplace (when she craves a midday fire).

Cut out cookie time

Luke chose to make Gingerbread cookies - my first time! They were really tasty.

My new stand-up desk arrived.  I love it!

Meanwhile - COVID isn't just in the Baranko home these days....
