As Rowan,s first Christmas, it Is a pretty exciting time of year. This year we decided to put up a real tree which has been beautiful. He may not know what's going on but it's still very special. And of course ill have taken a million pictures. I got him a baby's first stocking and tree ornament! Children are really what make Christmas special . They remind you how magical it felt when you were a child and in a way you get to live that again vicariously through them.
Many things have reminded me through the years how important family is and these moments are; this year was mo exception. This week a friend killed himself after just having a baby a month earlier. And also this week a lady's apartment burnt down while in hospital delivering her baby- left with nothing. In the US, a mass school shooting killing many people. So tragic and so sudden. We have to REALLY enjoy every moment we have, appreciate the small things, don't hold grudges and remind those we love everyday that we love them so much..
This reflects my gifts this year for Christmas. This year I am not giving store bought gifts, but instead homemade gifts- gifts made with love.y gifts remind people how important they are and that people love them... And come with cookies! Lol
This year spread the true Christmas gift - love. ( as corny as that sounds)
Lots of love, Stacey
