I am so excited to celebrate the Christmas season this year. This holiday is hard for many people, including those who have lost loved ones or are alone. Since we started trying to get pregnant, Christmas has been a difficult holiday for me. Almost as hard as Mother's Day. It's all about children and family and I ached as I wondered, "Will we ever be able to buy gifts for our child or see them light up on Christmas morning?" I know I should just be grateful for what I have and I have enjoyed spending the holiday with my awesome husband and family. It's just been hard for this infertile girl to fully enjoy the season in the past. We've also never sent out Christmas cards, because nothing has changed since our engagement pictures! (I shouldn't say that. Oakley, our Golden Retriever, has really been a part of our family since 2010). Anyway, this year is different. Even though Cameron is gone and we miss him like crazy, I have still decorated the house and made some goodies with my little Jacoby by my side. Children are so much fun at Christmastime. He was fascinated with the tree and rocks out to Christmas music with me. I am so grateful for him and so grateful for this holiday season. We are praying hard Cameron will be able to come home soon so he can celebrate with us!
Phase 1 of putting up the tree. I aalready have a present under there!
He's such a big help. He got so mad when I took the ribbon away.

Best part is, it keeps getting better as they get older. It's awesome when they really start to remember traditions and look forward to surprising others with gifts and writing their own wish lists.
I love your family picture. That is so precious. It brought tears to my eyes to see those beautiful smiles. Merry Christmas to a beautiful family and wonderful friends. May your holidays be merry and bright this holiday season.
