We bought it three months before closing date and we used to drive by it all the time to say hello and to let it know that we were moving in. It was a good way to get the kids, (then one and three years old), ready for such a big change. They started asking to drive past the red house every time we went out and it just stuck. Any time we mention anything at home, it's at the red house.
It's my most favourite place in the world. xo
