What a busy and wonderful time of year. As our first Christmas as parents, we wanted to focus as much as possible on the non-material parts of Christmas, and just as much on each other. This time of year last year was so different - tons of snow, quiet waiting for baby, fully prepared in every aspect of the house... THIS YEAR - woah! We're trying to move in a direction where we make as much as we can for our friends and family for "presents" - whether it's canning things, sewing, knitting. The older we get, and the more that we notice what Hyatt gravitates to, it's the items that were made with natural products, made with love.
My family came to visit the day after Christmas, to celebrate Hyatt's birthday and to spend a night here. I wish they were able to stay longer!
We initially weren't going to buy a Christmas tree, but every place we went, Hyatt was obsessed... so about a week before Christmas we found a small tree that we loved. Our little boy would just stand and stare, gently touch the tree, take off the few ornaments I put low enough on the tree and just walk around the house.
He looked like a big grown-up boy on Christmas Eve!

He didn't open a SINGLE present! He did spend a lot of time sitting in this Lego Truck that Allen and Brianna bought for him.
