My Last Christmas Eve

This year marked my last Christmas as a “child.” My last Christmas waking up in my childhood bed in my childhood home. Running down the stairs to seeing the milk drank and the cookies nibbled on. It is the last Christmas with the tradition of sleeping in the same room as my siblings and being woken up at 6:30 to open our stockings without the parents to guess what the big presents are and who they are for. But as it marks the end of all these things, it also marks the start of a new life with Jacob. I am so excited to start new traditions together as our own family. This Christmas was definitely one to remember and treasure forever.
