It's that time of year again.



It seems like Christmas was just here...but nevertheless it's upon us once more. This time around it's especially exciting because it's mine and Tyler's first Christmas together! :) Such happy times. I'm so excited to see his face when he opens his presents (even though he's already guessed one...oh well I've guessed one of mine so I guess we're even). When I bought his present I felt like someone would approach me and say something along the lines of "It looks like your little boy is going to have a fun Christmas." Yeah...my "little boy" is nearly 25 years old and goes by the title of My Husband ;) and that is one reason why I love him. He's as much of a little kid as I am. It's wonderful. We have good times. Anyway, the picture above is our first Christmas tree together, isn't it pretty! I was going to compare to last years disaster of a tree...but...I can't find the picture :( Oh well I'll just tell you, it wasn't pretty. This years experience was much better as you can see. Plus WE got to find it, cut it, drag it back together. Fabulous! This year is bringing a lot of changes to my usual Christmas traditions...I'm excited though. Since we have 3 families to negotiate time with we get Christmas for two days instead of one. Christmas day will be spent with the Shumways, first with Tyler's mom and then later with his dad and step-mom. It should be fun. Then on Monday the 26th, since I won't have work, we'll do Christmas with the Coleman's. I'm excited to start our own Christmas traditions, which I'm sure will grow even more when we have kids in a few years. I'm glad I get to spend the Holidays with Tyler and our families. I have a feeling it's going to be a great year!
