It�ll be a merrier Christmas than ever before for Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett: after over two years of marriage, they�ll spend the holiday in their own house with son Hank IV, 2.
�This holiday season is so special to us because this will be our first Christmas as a family in our first home together,� Wilkinson told while attending Project Angel Food�s Divine Design gala in Beverly Hills.
�We haven�t had our own house before, so this will be the first time we get to spend the holiday season as a family in our brand new home. That�s the best thing ever,� the reality star, 26, explains.�We�re so appreciative, so thankful and so blessed to be able to celebrate Christmas in our beautiful home with our beautiful family.�Wilkinson also revealed that it�s the first time she�s put her jet-setting impulses aside to enjoy the first holiday season that her son will be actively engaged in.
�Before I was being a little selfish,� she admits. �I was saying, �Forget Christmas, let�s go to Hawaii. Let�s go to the beach. Let�s do something crazy, something non-traditional.� But then I woke up and I realized that this is going to be baby Hank�s first year to really know what�s going on. It�s not really about me anymore it�s about him now.�The couple is eager to include some long-standing holiday traditions: Kendra says for her it wouldn�t be Christmas without �a Douglas fir tree, that�s the number one tradition of my family. Last year we just had a little Charlie Brown tree.�
Her husband is eager to introduce some first-time twists of their own.�We did have the family traditions growing up, but she said it best the other day: �Let�s start our own,�� says Baskett, 29. �We�re going to build on those right now. We�ll go get the tree as a family, Hank was out there helping us pick out a tree.��It�s exciting because what�s the tradition? We don�t know yet. We�re making our traditions,� he adds. �This is our first real Christmas and we�re starting those traditions now.�
