We started our celebration this year with sweet friends, late into the night. I always feel like we should do that more often! (No picture, intentionally.) ❤️
Then we served at our community dinner, which is always such a blessing. So many people served. So much gratitude. So much kindness. Sarah and Sherrod were missed by many this year. My favorite story of the day cane from a sweet elderly lady who came to tell me how grateful she was for the meal. She had planned to cook but through tragic circumstances, ended up with custody of her 2 grandsons 3 days prior. She talked about what a blessing it was to not have to worry about a big meal at such a time. She was so sweet and my heart just broke for her. (We all completely forgot to get pictures this year.) 🤪
We were not able to get together with extended family this year. Covid strikes again.
But we did enjoy a day with all but Bryce’s family. They are split between ND and AR for now while they are awaiting his medical release.
And lots of fun with the clan...They created this new game they call Sparta. It’s pretty brutal but they had a hey day with it!
And of course we enjoyed having a baby around again...
My girls...
