Merry Christmas everyone! Now that Thanksgiving is over I can finally choose a Christmas layout and show everyone how we decorated our small.. no tiny.. maybe microscopic would be better word, apartment. Cheap was our theme but it came out great! This lovely dollar ornament hangs above our stove and adds a nice touch to our stain white walls.
Our two dollar wreath was decorated with dollar ornaments and old ornaments that we had. This is a horrible picture but because of the lack of a plug outside we cant hang lights outside. Our neighbors upstairs (whom we love with all of our hearts, read the sarcasm) are too lazy to decorate the front of the house so we tried to bring a little bit of Christmas cheer to our door. In the daytime it shimmers with all of the glitter that I put on it but at night its sad in our back porch light.

This is the beginning of the Christmas tree pictures. I don't know why but I just can't get any good pictures of the ornaments and decorations that we used. We went with the cheap theme again, reusing our fake and small Christmas tree from last year and a lot of our ornaments. Chris was nice and let me choose a lot of blue ornaments that I didn't take pictures of. I love our modern, icy Christmas decorations we have this year.

And this is our little corner of Christmas cheer. If anyone knows me they are aware of my deep love for the wreath on the wall. Its actually my mothers and I gave it to her two years ago for her birthday (which is in December) but she was gracious enough to let me take it up to Logan. Its even hung on our wall year round.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Oh yea! Christmas cheer... Isn't it so fun to get your own place all decked out? I think I kind of went crazy our first Christmas, I just wanted it to feel festive (it kind of freaked Peter out a bit...)
I know I need to post some more pics of my growing belly - I have a little thing of gradual pictures we have taken all done I just can't get the internet on my laptop right now so it hasn't gone up yet.
Things are moving right along though, I am now 30 weeks along (only 10 more to go!!!)

Hopefully we get to see you guys sometime soon... Miss you!
