As each holiday passes we are more thankful then ever to be together as a family. Last year we missed 60% of the holidays together due to Cody's training. Even though we miss our Huge families out west, we are happy to be starting our own traditions and making memories with just us here on the east coast.
Last night Kaiya and I decorated our new Christmas tree, by decorate I mean I would put the ornaments up and she would take them off and throw them (thank goodness for shatter proof ornaments). Once we got everything in place she looked at it as I turned the lights on she said "OOOO Pretty Momma". I knew that for a split second we had made a memory together that I would remember always and that she would remember for about 30 seconds. We still arent completely done with the tree, we still need to buy a new skirt and a star for it.
We cannot wait to see how she reacts this year to Christmas. We decided a few weeks ago that Kaiya is going to have 2 different Christmas's. One would be all of the things her grandparents have given her (which is a lot) and another would be Santa and our gifts to her. She is going to be super excited and spoiled rotten this year, to only have her birthday follow about 2 weeks later.
We hope that all of our wonderful family and friends have an amazing holiday season.
