I just love Christmas!

I mean I just REALLY do.

You know why?

It’s all about family. Also because you get to do fun things like drive to a Christmas Tree Farm (we went to St. Croix Valley Trees if you’re in the area) and cut down your own tree.

Anyway… I don’t know if it’s the introvert in me or what, but there is nothing better to me than having an excuse to snuggle in, do family traditions, and make memories.

I know… sappy right? I guess that’s the romantic in me.

But these pictures represent so much to me. Especially now that we have Kit.

They represent joy and a break in the clouds of life.

They are memories I’ll cling to when life gets hard and memories that will help me remember what’s really important.

So cheers to Christmas! And every other holiday that gives you an excuse to be over the top.

I’d love to hear what your family traditions are. Let me know in the comments!

    Love the photos! I’ve never had an actual tree but going to find one and cut it down always looks like so much fun.
