is here! I have been saying since about May or so that I am so excited for Christmas! So excited that we set up our Christmas tree on November 7th :) Our home is so Christmas-y, I'm in love :)
Thanksgiving was also wonderful. Pumpkin pie, Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special, Family pictures and a whole lot of gratitude for my amazing husband. He made my first Thanksgiving away from family so special. He's the best.
We've had our first snow, walked around a Christmas tree lot, saw reindeer, and have driven around the city to see the lights. Christmas is the best.
I'm obsessed with this hat... can you tell? :)
And while most people up here are sipping coffee as they walk around this chilly city, we got my favorite treat- gelato. And the Fainting Goat has the best. (Anyone who comes to visit us will be getting this with us!)
And there's a Christmas tree on top of the Space Needle! I die!!
My favorite Christmas traditions:
- sleeping by the christmas tree the night after we set it up
- watching christmas movies- especially Elf and the Grinch
- writing cute things on our christmas gifts
- hanging lights in our bedroom
- driving around to see christmas lights while singing christmas songs
I'm in love with this season and the feelings it brings. The year is coming to a close and as it does it allows us to reflect on our blessings, to think others and the love that we have for our families, and to celebrate our Savior. Brandon and I have been very blessed this year and with that have also experienced some of our hardest challenges. In church today the speaker said of our Savior- "He lives, he loves, and most of all he listens." I am so grateful for my Savior- his sacrifice and his unconditional love for me. This last year has confirmed to me that He truly listens and I am grateful for the knowledge I have of him as my Savior. What a wonderful experience it is to celebrate his birth and reflect on his life and sacrifice and for us.
Merry Christmas!
Love, the Griffeth's
