Christmas traditions

Christmas is in a few days and Christmas has and probably always will be my favorite time of year along with Ryan's, and its especially special this year because it is our first Christmas with Noah! I think having kids completely changes Christmas it makes it so special. Christmas music has been playing in our house since the day after thanksgiving. 

Making traditions is very important to Ryan and I, when Noah is older and he looks back on his Christmas's we don't want him to remember what he got that year but that we went and we cut down our tree, and that we decorated it together while listening to the Charlie brown Christmas CD and sipping hot chocolate, baking Christmas cookies, and going to look at Christmas lights.

This year we went down and cut our tree like we do every year and it is HUGE! When we got home I was so worried that it wasn't going to fit, but it does, PERFECTLY, it literally reaches to our ceiling so we aren't able to put an angel on this year so we just topped it with a really pretty bow. Decorating the tree has always been probably been my favorite thing to do during Christmas. We baked cookies and listened to Christmas music while Ryan strung all 1000 lights on our tree! Then we took our very first special ornament we received on our weeding, its just an ornament with an M on it for our last name that we got as a gift at our wedding since we were married on Christmas eve, I gave the ornament to Noah and let him choose the spot on the tree it should go, and he chose the most perfect spot, our tree came together so beautifully. 

I can not believe that Christmas is in 4 days, it seems so surreal. I am so excited, I wish Noah could remember this Christmas when he is older it has by far been my favorite thus far. And boy is Noah going to be one spoiled boy Christmas morning.

                                               

 

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
