And 2021 is here...

I can't believe that is already 2021. So much has happened in 2020, that time is not flowing in a recognizable way, at least for me.

Christmas passed, and that warm feeling that usually fills me did not happen. Christmas for me is about family, encounters, spending time together, dramas (what is Christmas without the family drama???) , cooking for large numbers, a typical smell in the kitchen ... long traditions that are so very important for me. This year Christmas was also robbed by 2020. 

We did have a busy Christmas,  two birthday parties, one on the 23rd and the other on Christmas day, the 25th! The penguin party and the crocodile party... I did try to make up for the fact that the grandparents were not around, and make sure the day was special for the two of them. We were zooming all the time with our different grandparents so the blowing the candles was witnessed... Kiddos were happy, but eventually our older did say '2020 is indeed a horrible year'... Our kiddos are noticing the pandemia, and what is indeed robbing from us, no matter how we tried to make it special they know that something is not quite alright. 

Saying that I am exhausted from all of this does not even begin to describe how I am feeling. It's endless days that merge into each other and I hardly recognize that a new day is here, or that a day has passed. And with is days are passing and a new year is here. I am trying to feel hopeful, and bright that there is so much that I can do in my current state.

Not all is terrible, and we have little moments of joy... These are some quick snapshots of moments I am enjoying. My new Christmas slipper which are so comfortable! We are having so many trails happening here! I am now taking part of a new one, a 'fairy trail'. Oh, and I so need so much magic!

I enjoyed so much seeing both kiddos's eyes enlarging when seeing the living room prepared for their little parties! 

Anyway, a new year is here. Happy 2021!
