Just a three-second trip down the lane of memories today:
*tear sniff heart heart heart*
And now back to real time.
Someone posted a link to this video on Facebook the other day, and a tiny little chamber of my OCD heart infarcted when I acknowledged the reality of this being our last calm "adult" Christmas [until at least like 2040 when all our babies are soaring out of the nest or something]. ...NOT AT ALL saying that I won't be thrilled to watch my kid[s] learn about Jesus and presents and the North Pole and giving and Santa Claus and Bethlehem and just believe in and experience all the magic of the season, BUT.......I do love me a nice set of not-kid-proofed delicate decorations. ;)
Stifle yourself, you damn Type A Grinch.
Anyway...
We have been married for three years now and we're going three years strong in our habit of throwing up the Christmas tree + decorations on Black Friday; three fo' three baby, so in my book that means I can officially establish this ritual as a "tradition." Annnnd we had some extra little hands contributing to the tradition this year! By the time all da' trees were trimmed, all three of us were sparkling from from head to toe. And Harper continued sh*tting glitter in her diapers for a couple days, SO!...that's definitely a successful decorating session if you ask me.
Merry decorating and Merry [early] Christmas! :-* :-*
I am so in love with Harper's awe and wonder; it really is incredibly fascinating to experience life through a baby's eyes... <3
And to wrap this up, here's PLENTY more Christmas joy I will gladly subject you to...
- Christmas 2014 with Harper in utero...
- Random babbling from Christmas 2013...
- Annnnd digging through the archives for Christmas 2012 [which no one likely gives a rat's @$$ about]
Ho ho ho.
