Deck the Halls

I have been trying to decorate our Christmas tree since the last week of November.  I brought up all our Christmas decorations, swapped the seasonal printables, blankets and candles.  Set up the tree.  Every time I was foiled by the dreaded Christmas lights.  I swear, next year we're buying a tree with the lights built in.  I can't even.

After going to the store TWICE to get lights (first set of lights didn't work, the second set were the wrong colour), we were finally able to set up the tree.  Last Christmas while we were with my mum, we made some adorable Christmas ornaments.  We weren't able to use all of them this year because our tree had not enough room to receive them. :)

It was really fun being able to decorate the tree with Loo.  Sure, she mostly drooled and looked at the lights in wonder/ ignored them in favour of her playmat, but she was there with us.  It's crazy to think that this time last year I was just a few weeks pregnant and feeling pretty crummy.  I had a Doctor's appointment the day we were driving to Southern Alberta to be with my mum for Christmas.  Our specialist wasn't able to find a heartbeat and told us to prepare for a miscarriage.

Lucy was and will always be our little miracle.

With love,
