Go Authentic
Trista insists on buying a fresh tree each year, and she adds stockings and lights to boot (though not as many as their daughter, Blakesley, might like). The Colorado-based couple also hosts family members at home.
Engage The Kids
The Sutter children, Max and Blakesley, have small, individual trees in their rooms. Every Thanksgiving, their godmother gifts them new ornaments that symbolize the past year. "It's something she did with her family, and now she does it with the kids," Trista explains. "They're always so excited to open the ornaments."
Get Framed
Trista, who also collaborates on the Grateful Heart collection for Glory Haus, is particularly enchanted with picture frames "throughout the house." Ryan brings framed family photos to the fire station when he's on duty, keeping his loved ones nearby.
