Outdoor meet-up with Grandma

Grandma Linda drove down to see us at a park.

We took a nice, long walk. V took a scooter:

The weather was decent, so it was great to get some outdoor time.

Yes, that's a tank behind Omri:

Great seeing you, Linda!

Thanksgiving 2020

Like many other events this year, Thanksgiving was low-key. Low-key is also low stress, so I rather enjoyed it. But it was a bummer not to see extended family, especially for the kids who would have really loved some time with grandparents and cousins.

The weather worked out well for a morning Turkey Trot:

Our meal was amazing thanks to the Colossal Cafe's take-and-bake options. I only made the glazed the carrots and cranberry sauce.

I'm thankful for these three and for our health:

Veronica hosted trivia games for both sides of the extended family over Zoom:

Thanks, Grandpa!

We tried not to worry about making things perfect (and it definitely is not). We had a lot of fun with the project.

Omri is providing a space backdrop with the design of his pajamas:

Halloween 2020

Veronica (and R) tested negative for Coronavirus, so we went ahead with some limited trick-or-treating. I stayed back to monitor our candy dispensing situation on the driveway.

We had a glow stick girl and a ninja this year:

It was Omri's fourth year in a row of being a ninja, although he changed to the color blue this time:

Veronica's costume looked better in the dark:

Here it is in motion:

Smith Smith also made an appearance... He was happy to acquire some chicken stock:
