The 2020 Christmas Break

There was snow!! Anna and Kate are obsessed with eating it. Anna even said "I'm so glad we don't live in Florida!" Anna's definitely a hoosier!


It's not Drew's favorite.

I think all 5 of us agree on the homemade snow cream though. It's such a yummy treat made out of snow!

We had our annual RUF staff Christmas party! We've enjoyed having Morgan around and we've recently heard that next year we will have another intern (and his wife) to add to our party. :)

We didn't expect the 90 minute wait in the van, but we drove through a live nativity at a local church. Our kids loved staying up past their bedtime and learning about the Christmas story. It'll be a special memory for us!

We also cat-sat for some friends. Our kids are now dreaming about the day when we can have a pet.

 I took very few pictures of Christmas Day present-opening!


We made our birthday cake for Jesus this year.

It's the one time when the kids get to blow out candles when it's not their own birthday!

2020 ended with this snowman...
...made by Curtis, Kate, and Anna.

E-learning commenced on January 4th; this is the only picture I took during it all. I just love that Kate is including her brother.

A new semester at Purdue began on January 19th. Here's Curtis's selfie with his student leaders as they prepare to love and welcome students during this weird time.
