Setting up our Christmas Tree this year was very emotional for me. We have a lot going on in our family and have been struggling with a few things, things that I do not care to share on this blog. This is a happy place.
We took a walk down memory lane hanging the ornaments. Each ornament can tell a story about that stage in our life.
First we were a family of three. Jason, Amanda and our little dog Fred. It's been five years since Fred has been gone. We still miss him and crazy antics.
Then came the years that we didn't set up a tree. We headed to Myrtle Beach and pretended that there weren't happy people in this world celebrating Christmas with their young children.
Then our lives changed. We set up a tree and happily hung this ornament.
Some how, some way, the people who couldn't, could. We spent three Christmases with the honour of hanging these types of ornaments.
We are now blessed with little hands that make us precious gifts during Christmas.
We truly are blessed.
