I strive to avoid Black Friday shopping, and instead, I spend the day at home decorating our house for the holidays. This year, I have two Christmas trees...one for our family ornaments (those that have been passed down, and we buy new ones for us and the dogs each year) and one for my growing collection of snowmen/women ornaments. I'm in charge of getting the trees up, lights on etc. Then, when hubby gets home from work, we put the ornaments up together (with a great deal of help from the dogs).
As we prepare to decorate this year's tree, we can't help but think about next Christmas! Emmalyn will be nearly a year old when we decorate, and though she can't help much, she will get to help decorate our trees. Steve and I can't wait to help her put her "Baby's First Christmas" ornament on the tree!
Someone commented that we should enjoy our last 'kid-free holidays.' We are truly enjoying them because everything we do, we think "next year, Emmalyn will be with us"...and we can't wait!
