good bye pumpkin patch
good bye costumes
good bye roasting marshmallows on the fire pit after school in a t-shirt
good bye not so spooky decorations
good bye my beloved colour orange - you know you are my favourite
hello red . . .
A Little Lesson:
There are few things that provide more "getting the holiday spirit" than decorating the house for Christmas. We are in full swing over here and loving every minute of it. We have a long standing tradition, for almost 12 years, where we head to Ikea on the first Monday of December, eat dinner as a family, buy a tree, bring it home, set it up, put on the lights, decorate it, and drink hot chocolate. Things are going a little slower than usual. We did indeed head to Ikea on Monday night, but with a newborn, feeding schedules, kid's activities every day and early bedtime, we might be lucky to be drinking our hot chocolate by Sunday afternoon. Who says you can't take four evenings to finish decorating a tree? It's all good.
