Freshly out of quarantine, we celebrated the New Year with Grandma Susie and Grandpa Charles in Hyde Park. By this point, we were all experienced COVID-19 test-takers, having experienced the brain-tickling deep nasal swab, the drooly saliva test, and the less invasive nasal swab for the rapid test. By all measures, we were all negative (Eli excluded, of course.) But he was symptom-free, well-past his ten days of social isolation, and we were ready for FREEEDOOM!
Plus, who could turn down an invitation for some of Grandma Susie's yummy cooking?
It's easy to unwind at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Here's everybody playing dogpile on Brooklyn.
We also taught the kids how the "Ha!" game works.
Brooklyn and Talia were excited to run into llamas while out for a walk. Hyde Park really is blissfully bucolic.
Our most exciting adventure came from heading up to the Sinks for some sledding.
Home for cheesecake and movies until midnight and it was the sweetest way to ring in the New Year.
Welcome 2021! May you be less traumatic than your predecessor, although we all recognize that you make no promises.

Here's hoping 2021 will end with us safely gathering together as family, friends, classrooms, and congregations -- without the need to wear masks!
It was so fun to have you join us!
