Hey, everyone! Did you know that there are only twelve more days until Christmas? This holiday season not only marks the first Christmas that we’re celebrating with a baby, but also the first one that we’re celebrating with a tree! Somehow that seems to make it more official.
Our home is looking pretty festive. Not as festive as many other homes, but extremely festive for our standards. Since we’re establishing a wide variety of traditions this year, decorating our home seemed like another important one to start. So far, we put up Christmas lights, hung a wreath on our door, and purchased a little outdoor plant.
Inside our home is a different story. We set up and decorated a tree, wrapped some gifts, hung tree lights, and put scented candles all over the house.
We bought a fair number of ornaments for the tree this year, sticking to a white, black, and gold theme. Because we had to start from scratch, we also didn’t want to buy too many. I think that it would be fun to add to our collection each year, in addition to whatever Remy will make us as she grows older.
It will also be fun to look back at pictures of our tree every year and see how it’s changed. Honestly, I feel as if life is so much more exciting with a child! Why did we wait so long to have one?
(Early) Merry Christmas, all!

Hello, Scarlett Blog
/ 12/19/2016Really? Oh, well thank you. However, I don’t think that it is at all! Haha. We just moved in about 3 months ago, and EVERYTHING needs to be done to it. Starting from painting the exterior of the house (from green to white), removing the carpet inside, changing the wall colour, staining the baseboards … and the list goes on. But thanks again! Your comment gives me hope. :-)))
