Christmas 2007 was a very unusual one for us, but we did create some great memories! For one, Kevin and I had our 2nd annual tradition of visiting Harmon’s Tree Farm and cutting down our live christmas tree – on my 25th birthday (Dec. 1, 2007). Since our big gift to ourself this year was a new digital camcorder (in preparation for the upcoming birth) we were even able to get it on video.
Kevin also continued his tradition on Christmas morning of cooking a big, ol’ fashioned Christmas breakfast! His dishes include yummy pancakes, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, hot chocolate, and milk. I’m so proud of him when he thinks of family traditions like that for us to carry out through the years.
After opening gifts and finishing off breakfast, we loaded up and went to my mom and dad’s home for Christmas dinner of Salmon Stew and Salmon Patties (NOT our usual fare…but thankfully we did have turkey dinner the following Thursday). It’s all good though…I was with the people that mattered most to me (Kevin, Mom, & Dad) on Christmas day, and that’s what truly matters. I love my parents deeply – and I hope to pass down their legacy and everything they’ve taught me to Little Jack one day.
A few people have commented that this Christmas is Little Jack’s “First Christmas”. I happen to agree. 
He may not be visible, but he definately had a huge impact on this Christmas (our last one as just “Lisa and Kevin”).
….He also had a huge impact on my stomach!
