Well, the first Christmas Season is here and it's our first in the new house as parents! We know Charlie doesn't know what's going on and can't wait until the years she does - but for this year, we've put up a couple of trees and she enjoys looking at all the lights on them.
For the past 10 Christmases, Aaron and I have always put up our mini-tree. This year, we've passed that one down to Charlotte and set it up in her room with what else but pink bulbs!!
Since we've passed down our mini tree, we went out to purchase our first real tree!! We weren't sure if we would end up with one since we couldn't find a tree stand - they were sold out EVERYWHERE we went in search of one. I thought it was odd considering most people shouldn't have to buy a new stand every year. We gave up on Saturday and headed out again on Sunday, determined to find one. We ended up at Agway, who had stands and then hit the road for the tree. Charlotte was sleeping, so I stayed in the car and trusted Aaron to do a good job in choosing. After the tree was tied onto the Pilot, we dropped it at home and once again headed out for lights and ornaments. We went with red, white and snowflakes and are still in search for a topper. I'd say we did pretty good for first-timers!
We're still finishing up some projects around the house - so next year, the photos will be a bit more "complete". We're excited to head to Vermont for Charlotte's first Christmas and know that each year it will only get better!
