This year is Oaks first Christmas, and we are making new traditions.  It is definitely more magical with him around and I know each year will continue to get better and better the more aware he is.

A tradition that we have always had since I was little is to open up a gift on Christmas Eve that was always Christmas PJ’s.  I know that most have that same tradition but I have always loved it so much.  That is engrained in my memory of every Christmas as a child.  I loved getting in warm PJ’s with my brothers and sister and crawling in bed anxiously waiting for morning to come.

My dad would always read “Twas the night before Christmas”.  I don’t have that book yet, but need to get it for this little man.  Now that we have him we will be doing those traditions as well.

I am so grateful to spend my Christmas with this little guy.  He has brought so much joy into our home.  He is the light of Christmas over here 🙂

Our new tradition we have made that past couple of years is to go skiing on Christmas Day, which Oaks can’t do yet, but someday!

This Christmas we will be setting out cookies for Santa, reading books, sipping hot cocoa, eating lots of yummy treats and food, and of course snuggled up in our warm PJ’s .  Doesn’t that sound so amazing?   That is what I love about Christmas.  Is the time you get to spend with your loved ones.

Hope you all have a very very Merry Christmas!!

Also, the tree is from Walmart from 3 years ago, and the decor is Martha Stewart.  The cookies and pretzels are from Sprouts and are very delish.  I am a sucker for gingerbread cookies.  The cup is from Walmart, and the tray is Target.
