Christmas was a lot different this year. We had no family gatherings and no Christmas parties. I was supposed to work on Christmas but ended up getting cancelled so that was such a nice surprise for the kids. We spent the day at home with a visit from Grandpa and Grandma K. Grandpa and Grandma Roedema dropped their presents off and Zoomed meeting us to see kids open their gifts.
We had a surprise Florida trip planned for the kids prior to getting COVID. We were a little worried how the timing would work out but God worked out all the details. We were in isolation till December 16 and our flight left on the 17th. We came home on Christmas Eve. We had a great break from the same routine and also loved the sun! We stayed at a Drury Inn in Fort Meyers and went on many adventures from there. The kids loved the Everglades and the pool the best. The worst part of the trip was probably the flight back with lots of turbulence! Luke was so scared and said he would never fly again and Levi threw up. We went from 80 degrees to 24 degrees in one day but we were glad to be back home!
We all had been home for quite some time as I tested positive for COVID on November 25. Ryan ended up having symptoms and thankfully none of the kids got sick. We were in isolation and quarintine for 24 days. The kids had to be home from school while Ryan and I were sick. I had my birthday and Thanksgiving masked up and not feeling well in my room.
