I found this today, and am completely hooked! I am 2 days behind, so this is my catch up!
Holiday topics, 2 weeks {10 days}... LOVE!
Day {One} Fave gift received for Christmas
My engagement ring! Ok, technically it wasn't Christmas, but it was only a few days before. It is so beautiful, and every Christmas time I'm reminded of that amazing moment of our lives.
Day {Two} Fave holiday tradition, new or old
Old - Growing up, both of my parents were on the Volunteer First Aid Squad, so every year on Christmas Eve, one of the local firefighters would dress up as Santa, get on top of the fire truck and visit kids whose parents were first aiders/firefighters as well. They would show up lights going, sirens blaring, and come inside our Mam-Mom's {we usually had dinner there on Christmas Eve} house to deliver us our "Christmas PJs". Seriously, it was the BEST! We always felt so special!
New - We don't have TOO many yet, bc Gwen is still young, but I love that we cut down our own tree! It is such a cool experience, and you always know exactly how the tree is going to look in your living room! I think that this is the 4th year that we have done it, and I don't think that we will ever change.
Day {Three} Holiday decorations/decor
This year is a little different, seeing as how everything needs to be "high up" and out of reach for Gwen {and Wiley}. BUT, this WILL be the first year that we will be putting lights up outside. {I know, we are awful, but we never seemed to have the time or help to put them up in years before}. Here's some pics of stuff around our house.
