A humorous memory of our 1st Christmas as a family of four revolves around our Christmas tree.
Even though we've never put a ton of emphasis on the tree in our household (due to the lack of its' importance pertaining to the real reason for the season - the birth of our Savior), we do enjoy decorating the tree together each year.
Well...let's not lie...Kennedy and I enjoy decorating the tree each year. : )
Patrick can't stand how incredibly large our tree is, nor how long it takes to put it together branch by branch. He also doesn't quite "enjoy" the 1200 lights it takes to light the tree either. But, he sucks it up and helps w/ it every year thankfully! Kennedy just loved putting the ornaments on last year, but this year made for an interesting situation.
B/c we left the wknd. after Thanksgiving for Phoenix (normally the wknd. we like to put up all of our Christmas and Winter decorations) and didn't return until the day after New Years...our tree was lucky to even get up this year! If we knew even partially a/b what the next month would hold for us, we probably wouldn't have worried a/b getting it out of the attic and setting it up at all. But, we did get it up b/f we left for AZ. And we sure did take it back down (undecorated) after we got home from SC.
At first, I was a little upset each time I thought a/b not getting to decorate it together this year. However, I got over it...accepted things as they were...and took a picture so we would never forget this Christmas! What a memory!
IT'S ALL PART OF THE JOURNEY, RIGHT?!
