Photo Tour: Our First Christmas in Our First Home

Merry Christmas Week! In years past, I always enjoyed sharing about my Christmas decor in my apartments each year on the blog. While I unintentionally skipped doing that the past two years, I wanted to bring it back for 2025 as a way to always remember this special first Christmas season in our first home! The majority of my decor is in our formal living room, with some small additional touches in our dining room and family room. I hope to continue to grow our Christmas decor collection each year in our house, but for this year I love what we started with! 

     This post is also the first time I've shared pictures of some furnished rooms in our house on my blog. Ryan and I have been very hard at work since we moved in early October! 😊 Looking forward to continuing the decorate these rooms and the rest of the house in the years to come. In the meantime, to keep up with our house updates in real-time, follow my new Instagram account @home.sweet.mead!
