So far this holiday season has been really special. Obviously now that we have Nathan it makes everything just a little more special and a little more magical. I always love being around family this time of the year and I'm so glad we braved the multiple flights with Nathan to get here.
Christmas Eve we have a few traditions that we've done since my sister and I were little girls. The first is opening a present on christmas eve. We let Nathan open 2!!!! The first was a book given to him by his nanny. She recorded her voice so that whenever we open it, she will be the person reading it. We all shed a tear watching the two of them cuddle on the couch.
The second present was Baby's first christmas ornament. His favorite Auntie and Uncle gave this to him to open and hang on the tree. I've hung mine on our tree for 30 years now.
Next we put out most of our presents under the tree....we still kept a few special presents hidden until the next morning though.
Then, we watched a christmas movie to get us in the mood while sipping on a few christmas drinks.
My favorite present was watching Nathan's face while he was getting so much attention. Best gift ever!!!
