We started a tradition with Lilah this Christmas....on Christmas Eve she will get to open a present which will be new PJ's & an ornament that is a memory from the past year and when she leaves home (many many years from now) she will get to take all these ornaments with her. This year she got a Doc McStuffins ornament - loves that show.

Josh surprised me that night too & gave me a new camera - DSLR!!

Loved seeing your photos. I still buy or make an ornament for Matt & for Rachel each year. I started this when Matt was a baby. Rachel has taken some of hers with her to Baltimore but most are still here and go on our tree. They bring good memories when we decorate the tree. We do PJs too, but on Christmas day.
