Kailei

 

I just love when this girl laughs so hard she cries. 

Happy New Year!

Spent the evening doing a virtual escape room with the Trautman's and Peterson's. Then we sat down and had brownies and sparkling apple cider (not exactly the best combo but..).  I had everyone write down ten things they learned this year.  Zeb and Kailei stayed up working on a puzzle while Keara and I headed to our rooms (I'm totally hooked on Bridgerton). It was a nice way to end the year. I'm hoping 2021 brings change in many ways for us all.

 

Linda and Patsy

 

Love these two women.  So glad we have facebook to stay connected. 

Mom

Mom is definitely a memory maker and I'm so very grateful for all that she does for us. 
 

After Christmas Shopping

Well, it wasn't the traditional after xmas shopping day that we usually spend together, but we made the best of it. Happy that we just had the time to spend as friends. 
 

Keara's Homemade Gifts

We always love seeing what Keara has made for everyone for Christmas.  She is so creative and we appreciate the time she spends making her gifts.

Kailei's Christmas Cards

Kailei spent lots of time creating her Christmas cards this year.  Every picture was perfect for the recipient. She was a young lady of few words on the inside with a simple "Merry Christmas", but we loved all the time that was devoted to her cards.

 

Archer Christmas

This year was anything but normal however for a few hours we got to forget about it all and just enjoy being together.  Mom spoiled us as usual.  A big breakfast, a turkey dinner and gifts from the heart.  It's a great day to be an Archer. 

 

Christmas Morning

 Love the smiling faces on Christmas morning.  The girls were so appreciate of their gifts and really there was nothing special.  They are getting hard to buy for and especially since we had to do it all online this year.  

Kailei got a lap desk, pocketwatch, pj's, boots, gloves, leggings and some books.

Keara got a yoga pillow, wax warmer, tea cup warmer, pj's, sweatshirt and some books.

Zeb got peach ice tea, bluetooth earbuds and a t-shirt from his high school.  

I got a new tv for these old eyes.

We were together and morning was filled with laughter and smiles.  How lucky are we?!

Christmas Eve

Guess I didn't have my flash on so most of my pictures are very yellow.  Oh well, didn't district from us having a nice Christmas eve.  Went to church for the first time since March and loved being there.  Headed out to Tracie's for dinner.  Our typical party food.  We got to see Tracie's new kitchen, floors, bathroom and furniture.  Looks super good and it should because it has been a process since July.  Glad things are coming together finally for her.
