As most of my family shivers this Christmas, we are happy to report that we too are cold this year. It even rained, and Aria has had to wear on occasion a sweater or jacket.
It was certainly late this year, but we could not go without getting the tree up and decorated. It took us an eternity to get the tree out of the bottom of the pile of boxes in the garage. but to see Aria get so excited about decorating the tree, it was worth every minute.
It is funny. Last year we had a 24" no-fly-zone at the bottom of the tree, this year, as Aria was responsible for that same lower 24", the tree is bottom-heavy. She really likes decorating the tree. I have included an image of one of Aria's favorite branches.
We are in great anticipation of some peace this Christmas season. We are enjoying the calm before the storm as it were. We have been informed today that Kian's arrival will be pushed back to the 8th of January. This is tough because we were very excited about the 5th. It shares the same day as a couple of important people in our lives. Kian's "uncle Jared" is Jan5. Aunt Michelle is a 5th, and we have a few others.
We hope all have a wonderful Christmas. We hav truly been blessed this year, and are appreciative of all that we are given, and able to give in return.
Merry Christmas.
