This year Christmas was particularly exciting for us because it is officially the last year that we'll be just H and I...next year we'll have little H with us and our Christmases from now on, or at least for the next 15 years or so, will never quite be the same. How exciting!! Admittedly, it took us FOREVER to put up our tree (it was propped against our wall for over a week without any decorations on it), but we finally got it together and it looked beautiful, check it out:
We even went and bought little Henry his first Christmas present; it was a rattle and a special ornament for our Christmas tree: 
It's hard to read the writing, but it says "To Baby H, From Mommy and Daddy". And just a quick explanation on the ornament: H and I have this special tradition that we've started, and every year at Christmas we go out and look for ornaments. We each get to pick our own ornament to hang on the tree, so in the future, we'll have a tree full of unique ornaments all with sentimental value. Here's the ornament we picked out for little H this year...next year he'll get to pick his own!! 
You can't read the ornament too good either, but it says "Tis a gift to nourish"...and it is. I love nourishing this sweet little H in my belly! We also bought Nacho and Rocky each a bag of doggie treats, which they fought over while they were still wrapped, even though they had no clue what they were. We have some funny footage of that, but I'm not sure yet if it'll make it up on the blog. It was early in the morning, after all. H bought me a great quilting set, so I can get started on little H's quilt that I'm making him, and I bought H dinner and a movie. I know, it's not the best gift, but dang, it was hard buying for H!! Overall, it was such a great Christmas, and being here with H was the best part. We are so blessed to have such a happy life, and to have had such a lovely Christmas, and I can't even wait to see what this next year has in store for us. Thanks to all of you for your love, prayers, and support, and I hope that your Christmas was as love-filled and relaxing as ours. Merry Christmas!!
