Trimming the Tree

The last few days have been crazy, but great at the same time.  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were able to spend a lot of time with family.  As I type this entry I am sitting by the light of our Christmas tree, watching an ABC Family Christmas movie (they are ALMOST as cheesy as the Hallmark channel, but I love them).  I love this time of year...and since I neglected to post my last entry of Gratitude I want to include that in this post. 

Day Five:  Christmas.

This year I may be especially excited for the holiday's because Andy will be home for Christmas (flies in Christmas Eve none the less).  I love the music, the gifts, the decorations and just the feeling in general.  I can't wait to share our old family traditions with Noah, and to start some of our own.  What a special time of year. 

But I am especially grateful the birth of my Savior, Jesus Christ.  To him I owe all I have.



Regardless of your faith, I hope you all can be touched by Christmas this year.

This year will be Noah's first Christmas...and since I failed in taking pictures at Thanksgiving, I promised Andy that I would redeem myself and take plenty of pictures of us 'trimming the tree' - or decorating, if you will.  Noah loves lights, and the lights on the Christmas tree were no exception.  He was so cute and curious...and I think he is just as excited for Christmas as his mom.

I love decorating for Christmas.  Noah even put an ornament on the tree...but he was sure to slobber all over it before hand.  Next year we will be able to share this special tradition with Andy.  So here's to a Merry Christmas to all of you, only 25 days til Christmas Eve!

PS. Something FUN and random...I ran across this little gem on YouTube the other night.  Can you say flashback?? I watched every one...well, almost.  Click HERE.
