It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas



Santa's just around the corner and there's been a lot of change around Arkadelphia...at least around our little apartment!  This is our first Christmas as a married couple, and if you know me, it's not Christmas without all the trimmings!  Also, you'll notice that we have put up new curtains in the living room.  That along with curtains in our room has finally made the place feel complete.  We also purchased a pot rack to hang above our island (an excellent purchase if I do say so myself) and it looks great!




All of that plus some Christmas decorations make it the coziest home during this winter season.  We have been so busy wrapping up this semester, I have officially finished my student teaching...I only have two more classes of paperwork and presentations and then I'm a college grad!  Tyler still has one more week of school left, and after that, its time to head back to Allen for the holidays!  Tyler and I have been Christmas shopping, and we can't wait to unload at our parents' houses with armloads of presents...okay, maybe not armloads!  Now the hardest part is waiting for this week to be over so we can focus on our friends and family and not on school.  Since I know this is what everyone wants...the rest of the post is pictures of our apartment!

Stockings on the entertainment center (we treat it like our mantle).  Tyler is the Santa and I'm the snowman!

 
The wreath I got on sale from Crate and Barrel last year...I've been waiting a whole year to hang it up!

 
Presents under the tree...I've had some time on my hands

The "E" that Tyler's mom gave to us!  I love it!

Any little thing we had got put out...we're still collecting Christmas things...I have a feeling when stores put things on sale this year, we'll have some more goodies for next Christmas!

 
 The best attempt at a picture of the living room.  Not a lot of stuff going on, but our little apartment doesn't need a whole lot.  However, we will have a lot of Christmas goodies (cookies, cranberry bars, etc.) and we'll make sure to bring some home with us!

Merry Christmas!  We love you all!
