This Christmas was very special because for the first time, I shared it with my son Tristan. He loved the sparkling decorations in the house and on the Christmas tree. On December 24th, it snowed, so we went outside to play in the snow. We even had a little Christmas miracle, because Tristan took his first steps on the morning of December 25. What a beautiful memory!

I'll be right with you...
