This year was the first year Nole and I sat back and let the kids decorate the tree. They did a great job. It’s always nice to see them work together on a project.

Esme had a very particular way of placing ornaments in groups based on a theme. Nova was very careful!

This one reminds me of a Renaissance painting!

I asked the kids to tell me a wish that wasn’t a thing but was either an experience or something for someone else.

Cal wishes to spend 1:1 time with Mom and Dad. Asa wishes to go to Florida to Disney World and to get better (he has a cough). Esme wishes to give her friend Penelope a present. Nova wants to go to the movie theater.

I wish to see friends and family that we haven’t seen in a while and Nole wishes for the discovery of limitless energy.
