My daily gratitude for:

1. Showing off pictures of Ryan to family and friends.
2. The gift of decorating with Ryan! He was so participative and engaged and loved his time decorating the tree and putting lights everywhere. That joy gave me plenty of joy too.
3. Having parents who I love and trust so much.
4. Ordering Christmas cards! This is the first year we will do them and I can’t wait to send them out with our pictures!!
5. Baileys calm presence in our house.
6. Creating a new holiday routine with Liz- hiking on Thanksgiving. This is the kind of coming together that is so meaningful to me, wherein our family becomes unique and taps into our collective personality.
7. Long hugs!
