Last year my Christmas post was an impassioned plea to Santa to grant Lyle and I our own home. Although I reached a tad far, requesting the oh-so-rare carriage house, Lyle and I did indeed buy the perfect place for us in 2015!
If you had told me a year ago that we would buy our house and be settled by Xmas 2015, I would have scoffed. It's been an amazing journey and we couldn't be more thankful this holiday season. We spent the absolutely-balmy 25th of December in West Orange, New Jersey with Lyle's family. 70 degree weather didn't curb the festivities. A family matinee to watch The Force Awakens was the star on top of this Christmas tree.
