Baking goodies to give family as gifts has been a tradition in our family for years. This year, I felt compelled to make 6 different kinds of treats and bake 2 pies to compensate for a COVID Christmas. 😂😂😅😅 Its a good thing Annaliese likes to bake with me- we made quick and fun work out of baking, decorating and packaging for delivery!

The annual Christmas Stroll looked much different this year. But Chad and Megan created their own little family fun outing. They have been walking the stroll since they first moved to Bozeman and have loved sharing the tradition with Annaliese.
Downtown is so beautiful this time of year!
Ida and her brother, Sorin, finished putting together the family’s 1000-piece Christmas puzzle, an annual holiday tradition in their household!
Aurora and her grandmother deliver presents to Cuban refugees. She helped plan the gifts for the kids of five families and wrapped all their presents. She says that meeting them was fulfilling and she was happy to give gifts to kids who wouldn’t have gotten any. She even got to speak a bit of Spanish. 🙌
