Deck the Halls

This blog post is way past due, but with finals and living this crazy thing I call life, I have neglected it.

The weekend after Thanksgiving (spent in Island Park!) Reese and I decorated our lovely home for Christmas! I have a mantle this year which I was super excited about! We listened to Christmas music and decorated our tree and our apartment. It looks so festive :) I am soooo lucky that my husband loves decorating for Christmas and is such a big help!

Take a peek inside our winter wonderland:

Reese's beloved chicken that does the Christmas dance...he loves this thing!

Putting the lights on

I took the picture of us down, and Reese made me put it back up. He said this picture never comes down. When I said it kind of clashes with nativity. His reply: No way! That is what Christmas is all about- Christ's birth and you and me babe! (he is a smart one! Not to mention a cute one!)

My mantle :) Isn't it cute?

Our finished tree! Family Dollar special! You make due when you are poor college students!

This is our Christmas, simple yet so wonderful!

I am so grateful to spend a second Christmas with Reese. It is so wonderful to be able to share the spirit of Christmas with the one you love.

I hope you all have a great Christmas this year and slow down to remember the true meaning of Christmas, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Here is an amazing Christmas Story, told from the point of view from a sweet little girl: Watch it here.

Merry Christmas!
