Christmas Scrapbook

Yesterday we celebrated our first Christmas: a) in Brussels, b) married and c) away from family. Though neither of us have strong religious ties, we both love Christmas and knew it would be hard to celebrate with our families so far away. To make up for the distance, we decided to get into the holiday spirit and start some of our own traditions that we hope to continue for years to come. Take a look...

{Up early and in the holiday spirit!}

{The little Grinch}

{Alex's morning biscuit-making project}

{Christmas brunch: fresh biscuits and a veggie scramble}

{Our tiny (but real) tree!}

{Holiday gifts before...}

{...and after}

{Someone couldn't wait to open gifts!}

{Our gifts to each other}

{Harry enjoying some of his favorite treats shipped from CA}

{My awesome new hat}

{A T-shirt from Alex's favorite sub shop in Ocean City, NJ}

{Our roast chicken dinner}

{The set table, full of family classics and some new traditions}

Merry Christmas!
