My Favorite Things about our First Time

1. Seeing the look on your face when you saw our Christmas tree for the first time. You came over to me, completely ecstatic, and whispered into my ear: "Mommy can I pick a candy cane off of the tree, please?" and then carefully stepped over an open box of candy canes to make your selection from the tree. 2. Then came the appreciation of you, whom insisted on buying a tree for us. "I'm not getting the tree for you, it's for the baby. It's your first Christmas in your own place as a family." 3. Suddenly it became even more important that you helped me decorate the tree and took wrapping the gifts off my hands. You helped put together a wonderfully perfect holiday.
