2021: Attitude of Gratitude

First post of 2021!  Our posts for 2020 were clearly lagging.  We had some cool food adventures at home, but the days went by in a blur of Zoom school/work and wiping down groceries so we rarely had a chance to keep up with blogging.  But we wanted to mark the first day of 2021 with the theme of the year: Attitude of Gratitude.  The key to facing each day of the pandemic is to take a moment each day to remember what we're grateful for.  Because truly, while the lives we were used to were completely turned upside down we still have so many reasons to be thankful.  Most importantly right now: our health, our extended family's health, the roof over our heads, and the food we eat.  So in honor of that, here's a picture celebrating our annual Soup Joumou (Mel is pretty sure it was her best one yet!).

And also in the spirit of gratitude, we want to offer up a huge thank you to Hirut for creating this AMAZING cake for our little guy's 5th birthday.  All the CT fam quarantined for 14 days in order to be able to have a maskless visit with us for Christmas, and they surprised us with an early birthday celebration!  Our resident space expert was over the moon (pun intended) when he saw this special treat just for him.  Unforgettable.
