There are seriously so many things I love about Christmas…the overall holiday spirit, the decorations, the gift of giving, the gifts (I’m human, what can I say?), the music… Amongst my friends, I’m pretty much the first one to start getting festive for the holiday season, and I can still remember being in college and belting out Mariah Carey’s Christmas album in my dorm room to my not-quite-as-festive roommate.
But I think one of my favorite things would also have to be putting up the tree. Every year, on Black Friday, the tree is up in my house. It was like that all while growing up, and it continues to happen the same way today.
Part of the reason I so enjoy putting up the tree is because it’s always just so pretty to look at; but as fun as it is admiring it, I really love going through all of the ornaments and reflecting on the memories behind them.
For example, this was the first ornament that I bought for Jay and I before we moved in together in 2008. I saw them at a craft show and was so excited to personalize it, knowing it was going to be on our tree.
Another one that brings back amazing memories is this ornament that we got while on our honeymoon in St. Lucia.
Man, that was one incredible trip. I could relive those memories over and over and over again!
Every year since Jay and I moved in together, my mother-in-law also gets us a new Hallmark ornament. They’ve ranged from everything to cute, lovey-dovey, and funny, and this year’s may just be my favorite one yet.
Because I mean, really…who doesn’t love “THE lamp” from A Christmas Story? 
This year, the tree also has another new one on there, thanks to my friend Christina who made us our adorable little family ornament.
As much as I love that ornament though, I realized after looking at it closely that it was actually missing something!
You probably wouldn’t be able to notice it if I didn’t point it out, but I still wanted to make it perfect, so I called Christina and asked her if she might be able to make me a new one.
Sure enough, she was able to make a brand new one for me, which now has the WHOLE family on there…
Can you tell what was missing now?
Although my belly certainly isn’t as big as my snow person portrays (yet), we definitely do have a little one in there…
And “Baby Tooth” will be making an appearance this coming July!
To say we are thrilled would probably be the understatement of the year.

So HAPPY for you both! You’ll be an amazing mom. Honestly as a mom of a 2 year old little boy. It is a love/joy you truly never have known. It’s like life never had this much meaning until having him…and I am madly in LOVE with my husband.
CONGRATS That is so amazing and I wish you all the best best you and the lil munchkin! You are such a positive light in the blog world.
I had to type this here because I had to get it out -
I took 2 pregnancy tests this morning and both positive.. going on my lunch from work to the walk in to do blood work to confirm.. I cannot wait to tell my hubby christmas morning I am going to get him an ornament too and stuff it at the bottom of his stocking
The best christmas gift of all…the gift of new life! Congrats

I need to tell you that this news is such a motivation and inspiration for myself and I’m sure so many others; your body was at a point where you weren’t sure if you would be able to have children, but you pulled yourself up by the bootstraps and helped to heal your body and bring it back to optimal health – needless to say, you are a very, VERY strong woman<3
Ahhh congrats! I just came very close to spitting out my coffee mid sip all over my computer screen hahaha, I was not expecting that! You and Jay are going to be such amazing parents, that baby is already so blessed <3 So glad to finally hear some good news amidst all this tragedy!
Congratulations Courtney!!!

Congratulations, Courtney! I thought at first you guys were adopting another pet- no idea where that came from- but then I saw the snowman with the baby bump. \
It’s probably too early to tell but are you having a boy or a girl? What do you guys want more? My birthday is also in July- so is it close to the 23rd? (That would be crazy if your baby and I shared the same birthday!)
If you don’t want to answer all of the questions, skip the ones you’d prefer not to answer. I will not be offended.
Oh my goodness!!!! Congrats I am sooooo excited for you guys!!!!
Yay yay yay!!! Congratulations! We can’t wait to hear more details!

Congratulations, Courtney! Your way of telling through a Christmas ornament is so unique and this way you’ll always remember this special moment. I can just imagine how proud your Baby Tooth will be when knowing he/she had an own ornament on your tree before even being born

congrats courtney. I was just wondering where the name “baby tooth” came from?
It’s a play off of “sweet tooth”
