Our Beautiful (Real ) Christmas Tree! YAY!
This year is our first Christmas together. We were lucky to get ornaments and decorations from both our families to help bring more Christmas cheer into our home. I was very excited to get twinkling lights, ribbon, my Christmas ornaments, and a Moravian star for the tree. Jeff was very happy to get colored lights, his snowball candle, Santa’s Workshop, and his lite brite Christmas tree. We also received a cute advent calendar from my little sister, Carly, that allows us to eat a piece of candy each day until Christmas! YAY for enjoying candy and getting fat!
Another pleasant and unexpected surprise we received was a special ceramic nativity from Jeff’s family. Jeff had told me all about this special nativity that his mom made and was always his job to set up. He was very shocked when his mom sent it and loved setting it up again this year. We are glad to have a family tradition that can be carried on with our own family.
Jeff and I have enjoyed the holiday season. Besides finals and my crazy kids that are super excited about Santa and no school, it has been so fun listening to Christmas music and baking Gingerbread cookies!
Here are some pictures of the fun we had decorating our house for Christmas.
Cute Precious Moments nativity we got for Christmas.
Thanks Carly!
Merry Christmas!

Wow, it looks like you got some generous contributions from your families! Way to make it look like a lot more than your first Christmas!
Yay, Whitney! I love your little decorations. I was happy to see that you got a real Christmas tree. This year my parents bought a fake Christmas tree. Needless to say, we all tried to rebel, but to no avail. Kurt even threatened in his last email to throw it away when he gets home from Russia. I tried to convince them to get a live tree, but that argument went nowhere because of the cost. Sigh. Maybe someday when I have my own place...
