Traditions

Each year we go out and cut a tree for the holiday. Some years it has been in the back woods of friends' houses and lately we've been going to a tree farm. This year, Anders picked the tree. We wanted one spacious enough to put our birds nests in and he found it so quickly. We have about a dozen birds nests that we have collected and we place them on the tree along with a whole bunch of feathered birds. Anders and Kuba both decorated this year and it was so amazing to watch them chatting and talking to the birds and deciding where they would go. Luckily, we've been able to capture the last 4 years with photo's. It's fun to look back and remember. And it's amazing to see how quickly time flies.
Today I am feeling very grateful for a wonderful tradition like this one.
