28th: Leah had seen the new Spiderman movie on it's opening day. She loved it and wanted to take everyone on cheap day, Tuesday. Cora and Ammon couldn't go yet, they all rode down together, Cora and Ammon had some appointments and errands. Leah and Blake went to the movie. Said it was awesome. It was nice for them to all get out of the house. Dave and I had a quiet day. I put away the Christmas decorations as Dave finished a puzzle that Cora had gotten him.
29th: Ammon and Cora were set to head home and then up to Valleyview. Ammon was very sick from his shots and wasn't able to sleep most of the night. He finally fell asleep in the morning and was OUT! We helped Cora pack up their car and had lunch, played some games and just let him sleep. Poor guy.
30th: I had to work. Blake and Dave needed to feed cows and check water and Leah got ready to head home. That night we meet all the Puzey parents for a wonderful steak dinner. It was nice to be out and almost normal again. Blake was supposed to have a game, then just a practice. It got canceled and put back on, canceled, and put back on the whole time we were at dinner. They also announced on our way to dinner that school Christmas break would be extended for a week. All sports cancelled for that week as well. Blake is going crazy with no ball. We aren't allowed to go to the church to play right now either. It really is not a good thing for these kids to be shut down and roaming around at home so long. I am glad he has trucks and other things to work on.
31st: I went for a run. Dave had some EQ things to finish up. We cleaned the house and did some laundry. We decided as a group to order Chinese NYE instead of having a lot of work and dishes to do with all the Puzey's. We went over just before 1. Chinese was good and a good idea. Easy clean up. We hung out for a bit, opened some presents and then went to the neighbors for fireworks. They put on a good show. We stayed and talked to them until it got to cold and then back to Myrna's for appetizers. I love appetizer meals, one of my favorite things. We ate late and I was trying to get some things sorted for seminary. When we were all done, we headed home. We watched a short movie and rang in the New Year. Leah had a great party at her house and Cora was in Valleyview. We all had a good NYE, no matter where we were.
I'm thankful for the blessing we have seen this year and the great kids we have. They decisions they are making and the paths that they are on with their lives. Covid is still around. As much as I would like to ignore it. I still hate masks and that I can't just go watch a basketball game. But we have been blessed beyond measure. I am thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the guidance of my Savoir and the love and steady influence of Dave. I scored the jackpot with him.
Happy New Year!
