We are gearing up for Jack's first Christmas! We got a tree for the first time in a couple of years which has been so fun. I love the way it smells when you have a Christmas tree in the house. All the great memories that are attached to that smell! My mom and I ambitiously decided to knit stockings for my whole family this year (nine total). I made our little family's purple and blue. Jack is the one with the light blue.
Last night we had our first snow fall of the year. We didn't know if we'd really get snow because we're so close to the water but we got four or five inches. It's beautiful and makes it feel even more like Christmas.
This time of year still makes me giddy, like when I was little but now Brian and I are experiencing everything with the newness and hope that a baby brings. We can't wait for Jack to love Christmas as much as we do.
On Friday night we took Jack for a Santa photo. I couldn't take any pictures with my camera but I think it will be great. He was perfect! A superstar in the line and then when his turn came up he sat happily on Santa's lap and gave the camera guy two great smiles. Hopefully he caught one of them!
