I feel like there is still so much I have to do, but there really isn't. I just have a few stocking stuffers to buy for Chris, plus one more gift for him, get my Christmas cards sent out, and buy a $25 gift for the gift exchange at Mom-in-law's.
Unfortunately, my little point and shoot camera decided to crap out after a year, so I don't have any good quality pictures to share...just some from my cell phone (which doesn't take the best quality photos)
This year, Chris and I bought a real tree for our Christmas tree. I can't remember ever having a real tree, so this was a treat for me! We also made some ornaments with the in-laws at Mom-in-law's house. This year we made little cupcakes, and they're too cute! Sparkley and cute.
I've been in a crafty mood lately, so I also made a wreath to hang up on the front door. Instead of a traditional wreath though, I made a snowflake! It used up like 50 popsicle sticks, a bunch of glitter, white paint, and glue.
It took a LOT longer than I planned, made more of a mess, and my back was killing me from hunching over it.
It's also kinda crooked, but it's still cute I think.
I also picked up Chris and my stockings that Jeanette made for us. Chris' is police themed, and mine is blue with little silver stars. We had picked up some stocking hangers from Bed Bath & Beyond a week or so ago since we don't have a chimney to hang out stockings over, and we set them up at the little window hole thingy leading in to the kitchen.
Clever huh?
It would have been cuter if they had "Mr." and "Mrs." but this is cute too, don't you agree?
My iMac is too wide to fit in the little cubby hold though, so it sits just in front. haha, good thing it's thin!
Now all I need is a computer chair, which I'm hoping to get at Dad-in-law & Debbie's Christmas this year at her family's house.
The apartment is coming along...we just need to get some pictures printed and keep it clean, and it'll be a good little home.
Well...I guess that's all for now.
Just sharing my excitement for the upcoming holidays!
Ta-ta for now!

I LOVE your snowflake! You will have to show me and April how to make one.
Your stockings look just right in their little nook.
Love ya!
Stock up on jumbo popsicle sticks, because it took almost my entire bag!
I'd like to make a new one for next year that isn't lop-sided, and that might stay together better. I wasn't smart and painted and glittered the sticks before I glued them, so the glue kept peeling the paint off.
