It might not have been the safest choice - traveling to see family for Christmas during the 2020 COVID pandemic - but, having done it, all I can say is that I'm glad we did!
The entire family came together on Monday the 23rd, including Tim who lives the farthest away. He took two days on the road, coming to Houston. But on his return he stopped for lunch with friends in Waxahachie, and then continued all the way home that same day. He got to Albuquerque a little before 1:00 AM. Considering his round-trip total of 1775 miles (about 28 hours), it seems obvious that it was really important for him to be with family for the holidays.
Kelsey was truly "the hostess with the mostest," cooking tasty meals every day. Our Christmas Day meal was a pot roast with potatoes, carrots and gravy; green bean casserole; pasta salad; and dinner rolls. Dessert was pumpkin pie (and buttermilk pie the day after). We couldn't have asked for better (or more)!
Feeling comfortable with the COVID-safety measures that Memorial Church of Christ was practicing, we worshipped together, in person, there on Sunday morning. Afterwards, Chris and Robert picked up food from their favorite Mexican restaurant, and we ate together, at their house, one last time before heading home.
