There was a time back in the old days when the extended family would gather at Nana’s house for Christmas, before it got to be too overwhelming.

Grandchildren were small and few in number.

Ada and Jeddy, 2 of 5 grandchildren at the time.  Also:  the velvet Christmas baby footie suit on Ada!  😱😍

Alternating Christmases were at Grandma’s house, including the year our kids got a mini trampoline, which they definitely needed to get their energy out.

Sadly, you can see baby Caleb and me on the screen Lizzy is peering at.  Caleb was too sick to leave the house so we video called instead.  This was way before 2020 too; we were ahead of our time.  

Unfortunately Caleb and I decided to reenact the pathos this year and we FaceTimed Grandma’s house again instead of dragging our sickly selves off our own couch.  But this year he required far less snuggling and he could blow his own nose, one of which is definitely a win.
