Even though we knew Christmas Eve and Christmas Day would be spent back home with our families, we still wanted to start doing our own Christmas traditions. Each night this whole month, Matt has been reading me a Christmas story. Every day last week while we were driving somewhere, I would read aloud from A Christmas Carol. …
Tell-All Tuesday
*I just love this cheesy photo that we took of our celebratory Christmas feast that we had last Friday, just the two of us. We wanted to make sure that “our” Christmas as a couple didn’t get lost amidst all the hoopla of our family affairs, so we set aside Friday night to have a …
