The Christmas House

Well, we've done it again! Our short stint in the 'burbs left us craving a shorter commute, the soothing sound of a busy street, and the city at our fingertips.  Yes, friends, we've moved again.

Turns out our investment property proved itself to be an investment sooner than we thought. So we found ourselves a quaint little love nest back in Bellevue.  Sacrificing the square footage of the south for the convenience of the city was definitely something to be considered.  However, the pros weighed out the cons in this decision making process.  By the time most of my colleagues are getting home, I've already started dinner, finished up some miscellaneous items around the house and cozied up in my  comfies to enjoy some quality time with my fam.  I also look at it this way, 1100 square feet is a whole lot less to clean than 1900. :)

I've got to give my husband credit for his tenacious moving skills. His 18+ moves by the time he was in college gave him the scrappy skills that it takes to move mountains (or so it seems).  Moving day was Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and we've already got everything in it's place, pictures hung, decor set.  (Another bonus of a smaller house...less furnishing to do!)  

We've dubbed our little snuggle cabin 'The Christmas House' due to it's festive appearance. Red with white trim.  I'm basically living in the North Pole and loving every second of it. My childlike enthusiasm for Yule-Tide happenings isn't getting any better being 1.2 miles from the most magical urban Christmas celebration on the face of the planet...

Two words: Snowflake Lane.  
When: 7pm every night throughout the month of December. 
Where: The Bellevue Collection
What you can expect: Pure happiness, enchantment, holiday tunes to be heard within a 5 block radius, Christmas characters parading in the streets, and guaranteed snow.  

It's Christmas crack. And I'm a junkie.

Until then...
