I love this holiday season and all the joy it brings. I am as happy as Buddy the Elf is during Christmas time. Everything is a first for us in the Hadley house with being newly weds. Another first of ours is our very first Christmas tree! I felt like such an adult picking out the tree, bringing it into the house and decorating it. Sometimes it feels surreal that I am married and live in my own little house that I can decorate however I want! It is so fun to go on Pinterest and look up decor I like and try to pull it off. So with all the decorations and fun, I of course have to capture it all for memories. Luckily I got to steal Mitchell in for a second between his finals studying to take a picture in front of our tree. I have this crazy idea that every year we take a picture in front of the tree and as the years go on there will be more people in the picture like a dog, then babies, and so forth.  It may look like a cheesy, self timer, old fashion photo, but I love it so m...

With Mitchell and I newly married, it is so much fun to start traditions as our own little family. I wanted to make a tradition that every December 1st we go out and do something that is "Christmasyy"  The harbor by our house decorates with festive lights every year so we took some hot coco and walked around, saying old stories and looking at the lights.  How can you not be in love with Christmas!? Next for our agenda is getting a tree, decorating it, and watching a fun Christmas movie! 

one of the joys of this time is looking at all the lighted Christmas trees hotels all along the ocean side have the pretties trees, lighted up for all to see the other night my friends and I all headed down to the beach to see the gorgeous tree and to lay on the sand as we star gazed and chatted up a storm as we freezed our buns off //oh the joys of Christmas
