Merry Christmas

That's right I said it, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Can you believe it? It is already that time again! This year would have been like any other Christmas for us but; this year we have Taylor to celebrate with! She seems to make everything better, more exciting and overall fantastic! I can't believe in a little over a week she will be 7 months old! Growing up I learned to never expect a lot there for I wouldn't be let down. I don't want Taylor to have that mentality; I want her to expect the best and that is what she will get! Zach and I want to start traditions with Taylor that will hopefully carry on to her children! Every year I want to buy her a special ornament for the Christmas tree, we want to take her to see the gingerbread house display at the Grove Park Inn. I want her to have things to look forward to every year! That all being said, so far we have bought our first Christmas presents for her =), picked our first Christmas tree and decorated it together (she has her first ornament on it now <3), and she has tried pumpkin pie!!!! Next weekend we plan on attending the Black Mountain parade and of course the Toy Run! The following weekend we are going to take her to the Grove Park Inn to get her first peek at the gingerbread houses! I want to continue this traditions with her. I want to fill her childhood with good memories, I want her to look back and want to smile and laugh verses cry over things she didn't get to do! I hear people say that having a child can bring your childhood back; but I feel like I want to discover the childhood I should have had thru making her's the best that it can be! All in all to me it isn't about the gifts or the trips or the experiences it is all about the LOVE and then intent in which things are done and/or given!
