Several years ago, I was given a Christmas themed scrapbooking kit. I didn't do anything with it immediately, or even for the next few years. Honestly, it stayed packed in Rubbermaid tubs among our Christmas decorations. Until this year.
Perhaps it's the pregnancy hormones, or perhaps it was the recent celebration of Tye's second (!) birthday. It may also have been the time I spent reminiscing about meaningful gifts, like the 12 Days of Christmas photo book my brothers and I made for my parents one year- which is proudly displayed on the coffee table each holiday season for us to flip through and laugh over. Whatever brought it on, this year, that scrapbooking kit was speaking to me when I opened the green and red Rubbermaid.
I decided to start a history of our Christmases together as a family. Each year, we can look at our past Christmases, remember how we celebrated, and then add a few pages of new photos.
Seriously, Tye was so stinkin' cute, I could look at these all day every day, all season long....
The thought of Tye and her sister sitting around our Christmas book- in a few years as kids excited for the return of Christmas, in many years as young adults reminiscing over years past- makes my heart incredibly happy.
Em,
ReplyDeleteTye is so cute! And I just love this idea and am going to adopt it for our family as well! Something that both sisters can look at for years to come : )
