Traditions

We had a tradition as little girls every Christmas. Our mom gave us a Christmas ornament every year when we decorated the tree. Well, she still gives us an ornament every year, dated with our initial so we could keep track. I carried on the tradition when Jeremy and I became serious, and he gets an ornament from me every year. This is such a cherished tradition for me because as I started my own life I have always had cherished ornaments to decorate my Christmas tree. Its great to have memories of childhood attached to certain ornaments.

I've know for a long time, well before I knew if I'd have children, that I wanted to carry on this tradition with my family. So, this year, Holden got his first of many ornaments from his mom.Holden exploring the treeFirst OrnamentFrom Grandma

Now for a little video of Holden exploring the tree for the first time. He's not so sure about it.

Before you know it Holden will think that all of those ornaments are also his toys :-)

Very cute. I love that you'll be carrying on that tradition with your kids. It's nice to have those kind of special memories to keep you grounded and tied to your family and history.
