Christmas Eve with the Marshalls

We got there first while my mom was still at VCU with Grandpa. How did she have time to decorate the house, clean the house, prep for a meal, and prep for Christmas?





It was an appetizer and "pizza and shrimp"year. I like it!

 We still did the nativity.








and exchanged gifts.

 The big girls did another funny photo-shoot.


Glad to be a together as a family. We  loved being together, but really missed my dad/ Grandpa. 

He is recovering from a stem cell transplant and has no immunity to germs. He isn't able to have any visitors under 18 right now and there are a lot of other restrictions and will be for 40 and then 100 days. My brothers and I were able to visit. We washed our hands and wore masks, but were not able to touch or hug him or anything in the room. We brought presents, but dad wasn't able to touch them either. We knew that ahead of time. We opened them for him. It was strange, but we were so thankful that he has come so far in his healing journey. We would not want to do anything to put his health or life in jeopardy and are very cautious because we love him so much. We were thankful to see him in person and be able to say Merry Christmas!
