Today we were finally able to go to Cape Cod and visit with my parents and my sister and her husband. We couldn’t go down the day after Christmas as we had planned, nor stay the night. although, with our bedroom covered in things from my parent’s old house I don’t think we could have even slept there if we wanted to. We got going early and made it down by 10:15 or so. We hung out in our masks just in case 14 days was not long enough. We enjoyed seeing all of the decorations and finding those that we used to put up on the giant tree at my parent’s old house.
This year was going to be a different one anyway, without the virus lurking. This would be the first year where Christmas would be at The Cape. Well, it did not happen as we had hoped but it makes for a better transition for next year where the new traditions will begin. I do hope that we are able to stay for a day or two and enjoy more down time and Christmas fun together. I’ve got the perfect puzzle to make and this time I’ll let everyone else help more.
We enjoyed a nice lunch and then exchanged gifts. Auntie Tara and Uncle Erik gave the kids some great new headphones. I love this picture that they took in front of the tree.
Little did Uncle Erik know was that is how we’d be addressing Andy the whole ride home when we wanted to get his attention. Those headphones are great!
It was a nice day but next year I do hope that things are less crazy with the world around.
