Of course, there is Christmas. Decorations, presents, good food, laughter, family, we had it all. First Christmas without my beloved bunica. First Christmas when all the celebrations were online, looking at screens. With all this, we have plenty. The girls bring magic to our lives, reason to push through. We are still healthy. Hope is still around. We opened presents Christmas eve. Amelia left cookies and milk for Santa. With Catalina knowing Santa’s ID it was so much easier to plan everything, so Santa came in person Christmas morning. Ami was reluctant to sit on a Santa’s lap, but she was encouraged when she saw Catalina do it. She was even shy to get her presents. There was bounty with the presents and with
the love.
We had few days to rest after Christmas and then we left for a short mountain vacation in Vermont. With so many restrictions still in place there was not much we could do. We rented a cabin, but the owners still lived upstairs so it was not a lot of freedom. We learnt we like hotels and people to spoil us during vacation. We had lots of snow fun and a fun New Year little party. The drive back home was long, on snowy roads. We were not excited about starting work again, but as always, each new day is a new day with our girls. Happy 2021!
