I LOVE Christmas. Really, I love Halloween through New Years but I especially love Christmas. Not only is it a time for praise and family, but just the whole holiday season is more magical than the rest of the year. Luckily I have a husband that agrees with me so when I start listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving there are no complaints. We are both big kids when it comes to Christmas and we can't wait to celebrate Claire's very first one. 
If you could see the bottom of the tree in this picture you would notice a lack of presents. That is due to another tradition: Christmas Eve shopping. Who's with me?!?
Every year we go to Helping Hands nursery and buy a tree that was cut down in the mountains and brought to the shop. I love the whole process of picking a tree, bringing it home, putting lights on, and putting on all of the decorations. I really enjoy decorations that tell a story. In fact, the story of our family is told through ornaments on our tree.
We met in 2005
Got engaged in 2006
We got married in 2007
Pregnant in 2008
