Advent | Day 1 | Tree Lighting and Photos with Santa

Happy December! We're kicking off our Advent calendar and month worth of activities leading up to Christmas.

We've done a ton of travel lately and I'm so excited to stay put in Seattle for Christmas, enjoying the season and celebrating with my family who's coming to visit.This is just the second time we've spent Christmas in Seattle. The first time we'd just moved into our house, "the house with the fig tree", so this year's celebration will be much more relaxing and cozy.

Last night we donned our elf hats and went to a local brewery for their tree lighting ceremony. "Brew Santa" did the honors as well as posed for photos in the actual brewing room! They released a cherry Christmas ale, ensuring that all of the grown ups have a jolly good time. How cute is our Polaroid?
