Christmas Tree, Oh, Christmas Tree

We had a perfectly amazing night last night decorating our tree together. I had that overwhelming feeling about my family yet again...I always think I can't love them anymore than I do, and yet...I can. And do. Last night was one of those moments in time where I realized how much they mean to me. Starting traditions of all sorts is going to be an awesome adventure we will share together and I am especially excited for our Christmas traditions to begin.

I so enjoyed seeing Cadi's eyes widen when she saw the beautiful branches and lights on the tree, the brightly colored ornaments and the brand new red and green tree skirt. Holding her in my arms while she stared at the tree made me think back to last year when she was just a little peanut in my belly. We have certainly come full circle.

Every time we go on a trip together, Matti and I buy an ornament to remind us of our trip, so every ornament we took out of the box was yet another story of our past. We are so looking forward to our future ornaments and trips together with our amazing little kiddo and the rest of them to come.
