He did good this year.
Our Christmas tradition of giving each other a new ornament each year has not always come to pass. I’m not even sure you could call it a tradition if ornaments have not always been exchanged. Nevertheless, giving each other ornaments has been a tradition in my mind since we got married.
And he did a good job this year.
I wish I could have recorded his face as he watched me open my ornament. He was truly giddy. When I saw the ornament, I barely had time to register what it was before he snatched it out of my hands and explained it’s meaning.
“I just love watching you as a mom. I think you’re so good with Lydia and I love to see you two together. I thought this ornament represented that.”
He handed it back and I fell in love. Again.

That is a beautiful ornament but I think his excitement and the meaning for him is even more beautiful!
aaah, that is really sweet!
What a great tradition! I LOVE the ornament too, and his explanation of it just makes it that much sweeter.
Ahh, another reason I love him. He is a keeper
Can I have him back. Seriously, he is right, I love watching you with Lydia too. You are the best.
Awwww that is so sweet
