I’m glad I saved my traditions post for today. Having un-decked the halls all day, it’s fun to look back at the memories we made this Christmas.
Putting up the tree. The cat was a big help.
Don’t let her scowl fool you. She loves all the boxes and paper that Christmas brings.
Ben loves to hear the stories behind each of our ornaments. I remember the origins of just about all of them … not bad for 20+ years of memories!
Kati was banned from the decorating. It was her first Christmas with us, and she was a bit underfoot.
Setting the star
Buddy just tried to stay out of the way.
She settled in nicely.
Santa’s milk and cookies on Christmas Eve
American Girl loot
Video game (no, I didn’t make my bed. Don’t judge.)
Dad made a bed for American Girl Emma.
Dreaming of a Green Christmas. Haha. I crack myself up.
