Oh yes - it is December which means it is almost Christmas. Since the hubby and I have been married, every year in the weeks before Christmas I have been studying for finals and writing papers -- NOT THIS YEAR. This is the first Christmas that I have not been in school and I am trying to take full advantage of this fact. In fact, this is the first year that I have actually decorated our house somewhat for Christmas and it made me so excited. The hubby and I did put a fake tree up one year, but it wasn't all that exciting because I still had to study. This year, I bought and made some decorations, but I was also given a bunch of decorations from my mom that she wasn't using - thanks mom!
First, I bought this pretty red table runner. My mom gave me the two glass Christmas trees and then I bought the jar and Christmas ornaments.
I bought this little cute fake tree to put on our side table. I love using simple colored ornaments that compliment each other so this is our blue and silver tree. My mom gave me the little glass tree with ornaments that is sitting next to it.
My mom made this cute this ribbon tree -- isn't she so talented. She also gave me the white crystals that I put around it at the bottom.
Finally, I got us some stockings and stocking holders. I decorated these stockings with our names and a cute little picture. The hubby's name was the only name short enough to fit across the top so the others had to go down the whole stocking - but we each got a stocking - the hubby, me, and our two puppies.
