Christmas 2020: the anticipation grows!

 We are all grins with school in our rearview mirror for 2 weeks!

The weather has been so lovely (sorry, New England family) and we've been outside, at the beach, touring the neighborhood light displays, and we even managed a hike. 

Trains and baking are very popular right now. A last minute amendment was dashed off to the North Pole on Friday. They do it every. Year!

Thank you to everyone who has sent a gift! The pile under the tree is so cheerful. I am holding my breath because I've never been brave enough to put out gifts before Christmas Eve. I'm holding back about half the stash in case little people get too curious. 

"I can't help it", says Dylan. It's the most commonly uttered phrase around here.
