Happy New Year 2022

So the day after Christmas day I started to get a sore throat and then it happened...I got Covid... I was really fine though.  Just a sore throat, headache, and I was tired.  My only fear was that I got other people sick on Christmas.  But thankfully everyone stayed healthy!!!
Due to the COVID we decided to do a quiet New Years at the lake!!!  It is amazing how much that place just calms me down and makes me happy, even in the winter.
The weather was actually beautiful and we spent a lot of time walking on the beach!



There was a big storm about  a month ago and the beach is a little bit of a mess!

We forgot our noisemakers and decorations so Oliver made us some with his origami set!
We had fun cooking together (while wearing masks and trying to stay apart of course).
Quick shot without the masks!
The kids had a blast playing games.  I swear there is something about the beach that makes them get along so well!
Then we had our feast!!!
Then more games!
We did stop socially distancing to wish each other a happy new year and get a quick family selfie! There is no one else that I would rather be with to start the new year right!
The next morning Mark made us a delicious breakfast on his blackstone!


It wasn't our usual wild New Years but it was still wonderful to be together in our favorite place. Plus it was a year ago on New Year's eve that we learned that our cottage was for sale!  I can't believe how much can change in a year and that gives me hope that the future will continue to get better!
