It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It's almost Christmas!! 15 Days and counting =) I absolutely love this time of year. I love the music, the snow, the baking, gift giving, the happiness and joy, being with family and friends, and how everyone seems to be a little more giving and nice.

So this being our first Christmas on our own we didn't have much of anything. So we went shopping to give our apartment a little Christmas Spirit =)

We searched a ton of stores looking for the perfect Christmas tree. We didn't really want to get one that was only 3 ft tall because they were about $25 at cheapest and we figured we wouldn't really use it much later. So after buying and then returning one tree after we found a better deal...we finally got this tree. It's 6ft and it was only $20!! Steal of a deal =) We bought some glass balls and our first ornament together =) We still haven't found a star we like. 

 We got some stockings and a garland. You can't really tell in this picture but the candles are white with snowflakes on them as well =) 

Some cute Christmas trees for the side table 

 

 Our little WINTER blocks and a snowman Ben chose out himself =)

 Ben's mom sent us a countdown for Christmas with little treats inside that we love =)

I tried my hand out at doing something crafty and made this Winter Wreath 

AND we finally got some snow!! Yay =)
