The Best Christmas Ever

I was so anxious about this Christmas. From the moment we found out that I was pregnant, I had incredible anxiety about having a "Christmas Baby".

How was I going to pull it off: get Christmas shopping and wrapping together,  deliver a baby, find the energy to celebrate with the other boys?

Whatever the stress, no matter the worry, it could not have led to a more perfect place.  I did get everything done before his early arrival. And those things that didn't get done?  Well, they hardly seem to matter.  I'm holding my beautiful treasure on Christmas Eve, the stockings are hung, the tree is lit....and most things are slap dash or half-assed, but I don't care! And that is a delicious freedom!

I hope this little man will start a new tradition around here to really slow down and enjoy the holiday.  I have so thoroughly enjoyed the past two weeks, holding my child, watching Christmas shows with the big Brothers, or having a glass of wine with my sweetheart. 

Best. Christmas. Ever.
