At first, we weren't going to put up any Christmas decorations this year due to our move in January. I tried, I really really tried! It was making me more depressed by the minute not having anything decorated! So, yesterday I got out my green and red Tupperware bins and went to work! I put up some garland around our fireplace and archway to the kitchen, Christmas nicknacks on the mantel, and then the tree. Mommy is in charge of the lights (no exceptions and NO I don't want any help!), and then after dinner Daddy and the kids hung up the ornaments. Each year on Christmas Eve we give each other a new ornament for the tree that has to do with something in the past year. Brian picks out mine, I pick out Brian's, and we choose the kids' and Darby's together. It was fun to look at the dates (some from OUR childhood) and the kids were totally into all the stories. We has Christmas tunes in the background and it was a fun moment together.
As with most of you, we are focusing on the moments we can share together instead of all the physical presents. I hope to hear about the special times and traditions you all with share with your friends and family this Holiday season!
