The Last Night of 2020

Well the kids pleaded with us to let them stay up til midnight for NYE.  Why not, we said;) So we did it.  I was surprised at how easy it was, even though I haven’t stayed up til midnight in I can’t remember how long!! We played video games, watched movies and even had some time for reflection. Russ encouraged us to write down things we were grateful for, what we wanted to leave behind, etc.  The kids all participated. AJ even created a pro/con list, which clearly made both Russell and my heart swell with pride! AJ made the comment that this past year didn’t have “too many bad things, it’s just the bad things had such an impact.”

I don’t think I could have explained it any better! We took our writings and ceremonially threw them into the fire:) It was a really nice night!

Cheers to 2021!

Love,

Mom
