I took some photos of my favorite ornaments and I’ll post a few of them this week. This one is of my niece who is celebrating her birthday this very day. Our almost-Christmas baby who just four short years ago slept in red and white stripes in my father’s arms while the rest of us tore into the presents under the tree; now she leads the charge into the pile that Santa left behind. To the angelic one-year-old in the picture above, whose spunk and sass can light up a room full of strangers, and whose signature trait is the fierce love for those that she holds dear… happy, happy birthday.
