What a wonderful Christmas with just the 5 of us!  We were surprised to wake up to a white Christmas and the girls were very good for Santa this year and then excitedly opened their gifts from the family!  We had a nice lunch that they helped me prepare (ham, hashbrown casserole, macaroni and cheese and chocolate cheesecake for dessert).  We chatted with friends in Germany and sang Christmas songs while everyone took a turn at an instrument, opened gifts and had a nice conversation via Zoom with Jamie's side of the family and then were able to Google Duo Grandma and Grandpa Koss on her new computer!  Even though it is virtual, it was so wonderful to connect!  

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
