Christmas is only 3 days away!
This year has just flown bye. The mister and I are so excited to celebrate our second Christmas as a married couple. This is our first year in a house, so we have been stoked to FINALLY be able to put up Christmas lights. Well we were, until we got a notice on our door from the housing office saying we were going to have our houses painted the weeks before Christmas. Go figure. The worst part is that it is now 3 days until Christmas, and they STILL have not gotten to our house! Today I said screw it, and put some lights in our bushes! We're hoping to get the lights on the house tonight or tomorrow. We are not going to let them ruin our excitement!
Even though we haven't been able to decorate the outside, I've done my best to bring the Christmas spirit inside. We got our tree a couple weeks ago and I love it! Normally we get a bigger tree (6 or 7 feet), but this year we went with a perfect little 4 footer! We were concerned (and rightfully so!) that the pup would try to eat the ornaments and possibly knock over the tree. We put our little tree up on a table so it's completely off the floor and away from the dog, and it' is absolutely perfect!
One of our traditions at Christmas time is we wrap all our paintings and framed photo's with fun holiday wrapping paper so it looks like we have presents on our walls! I use the one in our entry way to hang our holiday cards to display them. This year I also got some fake snow to decorate our kitchen window and our wine bar. It's really cheesy, but super fun for me! Plus, it's festive and looks great!

Oh, and of coarse we had to add a stocking for our newest addition!
One of our most fun traditions is hiding our Christmas pickle on the tree! It's been a tradition in my family for years, so when I moved out, my mom gave me my own to continue it on!
I love that our tree is completely unique! We don't have 2 ornaments that match, and most of them have some special meaning to us.
After a year hiatus, we actually got our holiday cards in the mail yesterday! I love that Anthony and I have connected with his extended family this year, which made his list just as long as mine! I love having a big family :). I sometimes miss the craziness of the holidays with my side of the family, but the peacefulness of staying home and spending quality time with my husband is just as special to me. We are starting our own traditions. Who knows what they will end up being!
I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
Until next time,
T. Don
