Three little stockings

Yesterday I worked on decorating the house a little bit. Chris was out hunting and I brought some decorations up from the basement while Alex supervised.

There's something so magical about Christmas when there's a baby around. Even decorating gave a whole new meaning this year. I really loved hanging that third stocking on the fireplace! It's a time to bring out old traditions and to make new. 

I'm looking forward to going out and getting a real Christmas tree as a family, and handmade ornaments from Alex, and see his face light up on Christmas day. 

There's so many things to look forward to!
