Today, I am grateful for the joyful moments that I have been able to create with my children.
This is the fourth year that we have celebrated my birthday and then come home to set up the Christmas tree. I love the whole thing around getting a present for each of my children to give to them on my birthday. I love having them walk in with their ornament present for the year and we get to open them and talk about them. This year, I gifted their first letters of their name. I love adding, at least, three new oranments with new dates and new messenges on them as we move through all of this. Dayt got the fireplace on and then got all cuddled up in the recliner. Kayleah helps get the space set up. Moving chairs and plants to make space for the tree in the corner. Trin sat on the couch :) lol. I get Justin Bieber's Christmas album on and we set up the tree! All three helped get the ornaments on. Dayt through his paper airplane that has not become a thing because it happened one Christmas. Whereever it lands is where it is now going to be! Kayleah was the one with the honor of putting the star on top and she gets to choose where we have Christmas dinner. Last year, Dayt picked sushi! Trin, for her Senior year, gets to do both. My life has so much joy and love in it!
