Today is the 1st day of Advent. The season when we prepare for the coming of the Christ child. In our house, we decorate our home with all the decorations it can hold and start our tradition of lighting our advent wreath, enjoying songs and the Christmas story each night.
I love this day. Every ornament I hang on the tree reminds me of the person who gave it to us. We have an ornament that Jim's sister Amy bought us the 1st Christmas that we were married. It has 2 little penguins with monogrammed scarfs and "The Lynchs" underneath. I also love the teeny tiny baby bottles that our nieces, Lauren and Delaney, used when they were preemie newborns, it reminds me of how precious they both are to us. Today I hung up all the ornaments my Pop got me when I was a little girl, the Mickey Mouse ones and a train carousel. He got me an ornament every year for many years and I treasure them. I love the trip down memory lane they all provide.
Today we had a special guest to help us with our decorating. Poppa was here to experience the madness and glory that goes along with decorating for Christmas. The house looks great and hopefully Poppa is no more worse for the wear after wrestling Nolan with the ornaments.
Enjoy the season!
