He's back, he's back, our beloved elf is back! We weren't sure if George was going to make it back this year due to COVID-19, but he's playing it safe and quarantined for a few days, and also wore a mask...he's keeping ALL of us safe!
11/29: In quarantine, mask and all!
I took Friday afternoon off of work so I could tackle the Christmas cookie/treat making. It wasn't the same without having my mom here to help, but...again, we're keeping it safe and staying our distance. I made the sugar cookie M&M bars, the chocolate candy cane kiss cookies, and fudge...all good and very easy! My mom is making the sugar cookies this weekend, and they will drop off a batch for us to decorate in the near-ish future. Let's hope next year we can all celebrate and have fun baking together!
In non-Christmas news, we loaded up the kids into the car on Monday night and headed over to a new drive-thru exhibit at the MN Zoo. As members, we were able to drive though the exhibit before it opens to the general public, plus we went on a Monday, so there was very little traffic to deal with. The exhibit is made from 30+ custom inflatables (from a local company) and helps to educate people on the different areas and animals in the world. It was something fun and different to do, plus the funds help our zoo, which is really hurting this year. We are so fortunate to live only 10 minutes away from it, and I pray that it doesn't have to close!
