The tree is up and it looks quite lovely! We were able to get a real tree this year and it smells so good :)
We were able to get ornaments and lights from Ms. Manley (one of my education professors) and that saved us some money, but Christmas stuff is still a little pricey!! We figured its ok though, because you really only have to buy ornaments, stocking, etc., once and then you're pretty much covered for....well, forever. :)
I haven't taken real pictures yet because I keep adding things, but here's what it looked like a few days ago (from my phone)!
Its so fun to get ready for Christmas with Britt! We've fallen asleep to The Grinch the past two nights and I'm headed to the library today to go pick up all the other Christmas movies I can find! :)
We also started to come up with some possible "Christmas Traditions" for our very first Christmas together. In my family, we used to make Ritz peanut butter crackers dipped in chocolate, so that's a definite tradition that we'll keep! Britt wants to watch a Christmas movie every day (or as much as possible) leading up to Christmas, so that's added to the "new-tradition" list too! We watched Polar Express a few days ago (my first time watching it all the way through) and I really liked it!
We just have a few weeks of school left and then Christmas will be here before I know it!
What traditions will you have this year??
Why aren't you blogging??? You still haven't taken down your blog's Christmas decorations :)
