Happy New Year!
It’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve written a Simply Stated blog post.
So…how are you?
How were your holidays?
We both spent our Christmas at home with our immediate families.
Our celebrations were quiet and we weren’t able to get together for Christmas eve with both of our families as we’ve done the past couple of years.
And there was no traveling north to see our parents and sisters this year either.
It was different for sure but we are so grateful for the time we had at home with our husbands and children.
Then on New Year’s Eve we finally got to celebrate and have some fun.
Were you happy to see the end of 2020 and ring in the new year?
