Years End

 2023 was collectively not our family's favorite year. Still we were able to end it on a nice note.

On New Year's Eve eve, we headed to Mom Mom & Grandpa Don's to see Jen, Ivan, Oliver and meet Sonia (Ahzer had already headed back to Utah). While most of us just chilled (especially Sonia), Noa, Ivan and Oliver spent the evening, running, hiding, making all manner of noise, and watching Captain Underpants, until we finally had to bid them a good night in order for them to make their flight home the next morning and so Noa could recover from hanging with the under ten crowd.

On New Year's Eve, we returned to Mom Mom & Grandpa Don's to finally open Christmas presents with them and Nancy & Danny and have a lovely dinner (followed by an epic marbles tournament) while still making it home in time so that the four of us could greet 2024 while watching Doctor Who together.

Here's hoping for better things and happier times.
