It's a new year.

Well… it’s a new year and I’m typing this a few minutes before leaving the house to have the whole family tested again for Covid. I wonder if this will ever go away.

We had a lovely, quiet Christmas at home and because the kids are now vaccinated (yay!) we had one or two friends over to the house for playdates which was VERY EXCITING!

We also had a handful of vaccinated friends to the house for New Year’s Eve where we returned our tradition of eating frozen pizza and counting down to the new year at 8 pm and then marching up and down the block making all kinds of noise and holding up sparklers. It was nice to have that back, even if in a much smaller format.

And now we are in 2022! Today I registered the kiddo for some weeks at summer camp (please god let that be safe again) and I’m dreaming up schemes for the rest of the summer. But in the meantime, here are a few snaps from our holiday break.

Oh! And the photo up top is Ezra reacting to his Big gift of tickets to see Dua Lipa in March in Minneapolis. He adores her music, and the tickets came with a vinyl copy of her album. He was thrilled.
