Well, trying to keep things as normal as possible on our first Covid Christmas ... the boys woke up in their matching onesie pj's .... and i grabbed a coffee, fire was on, and we started opening eachothers gifts.
Lydia wanted a Christmas shot of all of us, so I took advantage of the fact we were all in the same room at the same time (including Mittens)
When Chris was younger, his parents bought him his first study bible ... it was one of the only things on Isaac's list this year ... so while they were in school one day, we took a trip down to Victoria so Chris could hand pick one out for him ....
He was pretty excited for the one Chris picked out ... It has been such a kick to watch this kids faith grow as he seems to want to read everything he can about God right now.
Paul gave him a bin of some of his deeper books for Isaac to have for his own library .....
My new mug .... this year was the first time the boys bought us gifts too ....
Chris and his new shirt! I had Trent make him a tshirt that said "Functional and pleasing to the eye" because Shannon and I were teasing Chris that whenever we think he is just going to do something simple, it always ends up being a gorgeous piece of art!
This kid was a bit tougher to buy for this year because he wanted a computer ... soooo ... we did end up finding him a plasma ball ...
And then both kids got a bike as their old ones were on their last legs .... these are aluminum frame with a super basic structure (no shocks, less things to go wrong) ... and the wheels are a hybrid, so they should be great on trails and road ....
But maybe not so great on snowy roads!
Soul came out on Disney tonight .... very sweet show. Some of Danny's musician friends actually collaborated on it and one of them even helped the animators to ensure the finger placements on the piano keyboard of the pianist were on point!
