I thought I'd post a few pics of our little apartment with our very FEW Christmas decorations. Yes the key word is few! But I am happy we have at least a few things to make it seem a little more like Christmas. I'm especially grateful that we have our little Christmas trees. Chad's mom had a tradition of giving each child an ornament every Christmas. This has come in very handy indeed since we had no decorations for our tree to begin with and now we have exactly 24 ornaments! Needless to say I am very grateful for that tradition because without it we would have two little bare trees. Thanks Teri! As we got out our Christmas decorations Chad got a little ambitious and decided he would decorate our apartment with Christmas lights. Normally I am a little picky about decorating our apartment and prefer to do it myself, but Chad beat me to the punch and the lovely window decor is all Chad! :) I thought it was too funny to take down and so this is what our apartment ended up looking like this Christmas.
Our cute manger scene with no stable with Chad's random lights strung throughout.
This window light decor is Chad's master piece! Although you can't see it in the picture, the left side blinks, but the right side doesn't. Yes, it's a special treat to see this. Too bad you all can't come to Nebraska to see it in person!
Chad next to our cute little trees with his 24 decorations. You will have to ignore the green spot on the carpet...it's been there since we moved in and the owners keep claiming they are going to "take care of it as soon as possible." I think we've grown so accustom to it that we really don't even notice it's there. Chad says it adds character to our apartment. So this is our humble beginnings for our first Christmas together, it's not much, but we sure do appreciate what we do have. We are so excited to be able to spend Christmas with family and friends in Utah this year! Only a few more short days and we will be there!
