Love This View

This past year and a half with my early morning riser has given me a new appreciation for the morning views in my home, but I especially love them in December. Everything just seems so jolly, bright, and peaceful to me this time of year, and I’m already wondering what I’ll do when everything is dull and bare again in January.

Last year was Mabel’s first Christmas, but this is the first year she can really grasp onto some of our traditions. She eagerly searches the house for their elves along with her siblings, insists on the “light lights” being lit on every tree the moment it’s dark, and starts every morning by going to our “mantle” and pointing to our Harry Potter advent until I bring it down to open. I don’t think she’s going to be very happy when the decor comes down either.
