I was so excited for our first Christmas in our OWN home. Since Kyle and I have been married, almost 4 years now, we haven't spent ONE Christmas in our own place. We have always been traveling or living with one or the other's parents and because of this we didn't have many decorations at all. When we were living in Tulsa one of our friend's gave us a small 4 foot tree to put up, but when Kyle went to start building it he decided that this tree wasn't going to cut it for our first Christmas in our new home.
So off we went on the search for our tree. Our journey took us to a few different stores in search of the right one. Once we found it though we knew it and we threw it and some more ornaments in the cart and we were set. The boys were so excited to get home and decorate the tree and in the end they did a wonderful job. Kaden tended to line 3 to 4 ornaments on one branch...he likes the cluttered look :) Kaleb was meticulous in his hanging and tried to space each ornament out evenly. My mom made us a special angel and we even received some ornaments from family and friends honoring our first Christmas in our home.
I am so excited for future holidays in our home and I can't wait til' next year to add to our tree even more. When Kaleb was two and Kaden just an infant I started a tradition in which each Christmas the boys get to pick out their very own ornament to put on the tree, so each year I look forward to picking out those ornaments with the boys and add them to the tree the next year along with the others they have picked out in the past. I also look forward to the cute and priceless ornaments that the boys will create and I will so proudly display them on our tree.
