This year has just brought one surprise after another. Following Lauren's positive COVID test late October was a domino effect with the family and quarantines. Brian ended up getting it shortly after and then Blake followed. Luckily Blake only had a minor headache and a pain in his leg. Sophie had multiple negative tests for over a month but did have to follow the current quarantine guidelines which was nearly a month with same household exposure. Unfortunately, this put her into her birthday so her party had to be cancelled. She was really bummed as she had been looking forward to this for several weeks. We tried to make it as special as possible considering we couldn't leave or do any shopping outside of deliveries. We ordered her favorite Red velvet cake and some Crumble Cookies, a fun yard sign and some of the neighbors created a little parade and even dropped off some sweet gifts. She was so excited and felt very special for the day! We promised we would do our best to make it super special next year!
