In The Mood for Christmas

After Rachel's (successful) debut on the blog with the last post, I'm taking back the reins as we finish decorating the house for the Holiday season. Because we'll be in my hometown for the majority of the time, we thought we wouldn't have a tree this year...but that would have been sad for Théo's first Christmas! So we went down the street to get our Xmas tree at the Magic Fountain (our favorite ice-cream place...ever) that turns into a Christmas tree shop for the Holidays. And so we found the perfect one: not too big but not too small either as we weren't able to put it in the car. Rachel ended up driving back while I walked home, the tree on my shoulders. Anyway, nothing bad about a little walk in 40 degree weather - it's quite refreshing! I even got home before Rachel who got stuck in the parking lot by other shoppers' cars, ha ha!
Anyway, the tree is set up and lit in our cozy living room, and this year, the season takes on a whole new meaning with Théo. For the occasion, we couldn't resist buying him his first Christmas ornament! Happy Holidays to everyone.
