Covid Christmas with Friends

 We didn't let covid slow down our Christmas traditions with friends.  And we had some new ones too!  Grateful for great weather that let us celebrate and make memories outside!

The Hanratty Open

The Hanratty Open was blessed with the most gorgeous blue sky day!

We were able to get our whole family together and spend the afternoon outside.

So much to be grateful for!!!

Love my people!

Halloween 2020

Although this holiday looked a little different due to covid, we were still able to pull off some of our favorite traditions, and create some new ones.  Mollie's plans with her friend were cancelled, but luckily the block party was still on, and we enjoyed the neighborhood, and did a candy scavenger hunt with the neighbors instead of trick or treating.  And everyone had a ton of fun!   

 

Back to School!??!

Is this really happening?!  After months of hunkering down and staying home, then adventuring as a family, but avoiding crowds, we are safely returning to school! In masks. 

And you girls couldn't be more excited!  You can see the joy in your eyes, even though we can't see your smiles thru the mask.

A last day of summer (longest summer EVER!) toast!

And card game as the storm rolled in

We shut down the pool!!!!  

Our sixth grader is off first!

And Finn is super confused.  He has been with us almost every single second since March!

And here goes our third grader!

2020-2021 school year here we come.  No one knows what to expect, as everything is different.  But you are so glad to new going in person and not have to e-learn from home!

Cheers to the most bizarre, but hopefully the best year yet!  For the first time,  I didn't even cry.  I was so happy for you because you were both so happy!

Your first communion

May God Bless you Kendall Hanratty.

Today, on your first communion, and every day!

Another covid Plan B, and this one was incredible.  Although it is sad you didn't get to take your first communion with your whole grade, we were able to schedule a private ceremony and all of your Dallas family was able to be there... and you are able to share it with one of your best friends.

You radiate light, sweet girl, and today was no different!

You are such a blessing from above!
