Christmas has always been such a magical time for me personally. I have wonderful memories of the way my parents did Christmas...the spread from Santa to the trips that we went on the day after. We just had the best time.
It's very important to me and Matt to establish our own traditions, while preserving many of the traditions we grew up with. It can be difficult combining two families who put so much emphasis on Christmas and our traditions.
Last year, Matt and I had a great Christmas, although we did Christmas on December 17th since we were going to New York to see his family, and then I was flying home to spend Christmas Day with my parents.
THIS year, we are spending our first Christmas as a married couple together!!! And December 17th isn't Christmas this year, it's our wedding day!!!
I hope you enjoy some pictures of our Christmas decorations. I can't wait to get into our house and share more pictures with you this time next year!
Our Christmas tree...a Douglas fir
The tree all lit up...to combine our traditions of white lights and colored lights, we put the white lights inside the tree and colored lights on the outside...you can see how it glows
Check out the presents!!!
We're The Wooleys!!! (well, almost)
The nativity set I had (and you can see Rudolph and Clarice -- the apartment doesn't have a ton of space to decorate)
Poinsettas (these will double as reception centerpieces in a few weeks)
The rest of our decorations (again, the apartment doesn't have a lot of decorating space)
Up close and personal with our ADORABLE stocking holders
So now our attention turns more so towards the wedding!!!! 14 days and we will be married! I am SO excited that I will soon get to marry my best friend!!!
Until next time...
