Getting in the Christmas mood!

It's funny how traditions start. I always thought they were something you decided you would do every year. My family's traditions were basically already rolling when I was old enough to realize what a "tradition" was. I didn't realize some just happened. Something that has happened every year that Jared and I have been together, so far, is that sometime in December Jared gets up in the middle of the night and sets up our little 3 foot tree, gets out all the ornaments, and sets out the stockings. Then he comes back, wakes me up, and we decorate the tree together! I love this tradition! Not because we get up in the middle of the night, or not necessarily because I already love the Christmas season but because it's a tradition that has happened every year without any planning on my part. My husband knows just when to do it to get me all Christmas-ee feeling! Thanks Jared for being amazing! Oh, and this year Zinni joined in the fun!

Everything all ready to go! Daddy and Zinni putting on an ornament we got from Florida. Zin and Mommy putting a candy cane on. The finished product!
And we love our Zinnidee if you couldn't tell!
