I did silly gifts with John's money!  One gift I wrapped all 24 crayons in 1dollar bills and put it back in the crayon box!  ha!  Then this gift was a box with a hole and the money was all taped together and it kept coming out and out and out!

It flew by, of course, because it always does!

But it was so good for ALL of our hearts!!!

We needed it after this crazy year!!!

Then on 12/21/2020 we went to the soccer fields to see what they called The Christmas Star, where Saturn and Jupiter came close together to make a bright star!  It happened 800 years ago!  It was amazing to see with our binoculars!  and the boys just got new pairs JUST that weekend before from Uncle John and Aunt Dana!

HE CAME!!

it was so different this year, not rushed seemingly, they wanted to play with their things 

and they wanted to take their time. 

Granted, Reid was up @ 2am.  And Brian fought him until 4:57!  

We napped later that day!  ha!

Reid got his Miele!  Unfortunately Santa couldn't get the yellow paint for the one he wanted, but Santa said he had a TON of red around the work shop and he used his favorite red for this vacuum!  Reid was pleased!  

Pierce got his Gaming Camera!
