This year, it's our first Christmas in our first home. We got a real tree, hung our stockings, set up the nativity and placed our Charlie Brown tree in the dining room. It's easy to get swept up in needing a bunch of decorations, and we're trying not to do that. You'll notice we are missing a tree topper; we plan to shop the after-Christmas sales for a great deal.
This year, it's our last Christmas as just the two of us. As many of you know, we're expecting our first baby in April. I'm so excited to make many Christmas memories in this home in the years to come, but I also don't want to rush through this Christmas as just the two of us.
