Since Dainis and I were born, both of our parents started an ornament collection. We each got a special ornament each Christmas, and we continued this tradition after we were married. Now that we have kids, we started this tradition with them, starting our first Christmas together. This year, we decided to decorate our whole tree with all of our special ornaments. The kids loved seeing ours, and it was special that we could do this together! I think it gives the kids a great sense of security when they can see what it means to have family traditions and be a special part of our family.
Our family loves Christmas, and we always spend Thanksgiving weekend getting the house all decorated. This year was especially nice because we had very little time to decorate last year, since we moved into our new house only 3 days before Christmas! Overall, the kids cooperated and were a big help. Everyone is excited for the holiday season to begin...even our dog Buddy!
