Last year around Christmas time I had Rockwell. I don't recommend having a baby around the holidays. I was tired and unenthusiastic about Christmas and I felt kind of guilty that I didn't do more. I know Daisy was only two but the holidays should be magical for kids even if they won't really remember it right? Any I saved up a bit so when Christmas came this year I could do some fun things. I had fun. I decorated more, made lots of treats, sent out cards, did Christmas crafts, and read Daisy a new Christmas book every night.
Daisy and I decorated the tree then when Dad got home from work him and Daisy put on the star. That was always my favorite thing to do when I was very little. I loved getting lifted up by my Dad and putting on the star.
On my birthday this year Heidi found a volleyball ornament at Hobby Lobby and of course we both got one. Its my favorite. I also started a new tradition this year of each of us getting to pick out an ornament. I got an ornament every year from my grandma Beverly and appreciated having real ornaments to put on my tree after I got married and had my own tree. So someday when my kids leave home they can have their own to take with them that we have collected over the years.
I made these. I think they are cute. I also got a nativity this year. I was going to do the 12 days of Christmas for Daisy but it didn't happen, oh well.
I love the glow of the tree.
And here is our card. I didn't send out many. Next year we may send out more, we'll see if I feel like paying for postage.
