I'm not sure why, but I'm really pumped about Christmas this year. Myra and Noah are making it a lot of fun, of course, but for some reason, I'm just really looking forward to the Holidays. To continue on with our little Christmas tree theme, Chris and I are going to show you our favorite ornaments on the tree.
Mine is this beautiful little white, beaded, sequined baby picture-thingy. It's very special to me because a: it's my favorite baby pic, b: the whole family has one, and c: Big Granny made it. Years ago, she made one of these for all of us in the family and from the very start, I knew these things were special. I remember getting out the ornaments every year and I really loved looking at all of them side by side. Mine, of course, was the best, but Sarah's cute chubby cheeks and dad's confident (very Noah-like) smile on his ornament are two others that really stick out in my mind.
It's starting to show its age and every year another pin filled with sequins falls off, so I treat it like a 1000 year old relic. I'm sad to think of the day that the whole thing just gives up and collapses into a ball of dust. That'll be a SAD Christmas. This year I thought I got it out of Noah range, but he's already pulled it off once, so now it resides in the upper branches of our tree. That's cool, though, because Josha-Big-Eyes likes the view.
