Wonderment

I wish I had my camera handy to capture Natalie's expression when she saw the Christmas tree lit for the first time, instead, I snapped this on my phone:

Although she technically saw our tree last Christmas for a few days after she came home from the hospital, this may as well be the first time she's seen it.  It was put up without lights and ornaments for a day, and she payed it no mind.  Once it was lit, boy...she kept looking and pointing, and walking up to it, more pointing.  I wish I could remember just how magical this time of year feels for a kid.
