Its Christmas Time!

It's Christmas Time!! The decorations have begun. and the apartment is looking so festive! There are several other crafts that I wanted to do this year, but they haven't happened yet so I am not sure if it will...we will see we will see.

So this year we went and cut down our very own Christmas tree! It was so much fun! We headed to the other side of Huntsville and visited Valley Christmas Tree Farm. They had TONS of trees to choose from and all sorts of sizes. The farm grows four different types of trees and then they offer a fifth type that is already pre-cut. When you arrive they point out the four different trees and the area they are located. They give you a measuring stick and a saw and then you are off!

With his saw and measuring stick...we are off to find us a tree!

I think we found us one!

With our cute little tree before we cut it down.

The hubs cut it down!

And then carried it to the car.

Where I got to ride in the window to make sure the tree didn't make a run for it!

So we got us a tree and then headed home to decorate.

We got the tree in it's stand.

Cut off it's netting! Isn't it pretty?

And added some lights!

Then we spent some time decorating the tree. Next came the presents. I have been a wrapping machine the last few days, but they are all wrapped up and ready to look pretty under the tree!!

Before Presents.

and After...

We have a few other decorations here and there around the apartment. Here are a few..

My precious moments nativity, snowflake tree, and penguin snow globe.

Penguin corner.

We have also started our Christmas card garland. We have already gotten some really awesome Christmas card so the garland is looking quite festive! 

Last night we had a little birthday/Christmas get together with some friends. We all got together had pizza and cake and watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It was so much fun. I didn't get any pictures :( but had a great time with Ester, Brian, and the lovely Pierce family.
We will be volunteering at the Galaxy of Lights here in Huntsville with the Mississippi State Alumni Association- Huntsville Chapter. We did it last year and had a great time and we are looking forward to doing it again this year.
We also are going to the see the Nutcracker! I am so excited. I love getting opportunities to dress up and go out on the town with my adorable hubby!!! I promise to take some pictures to share!

Well that's all I got for now! Hope you all are enjoying this wonderful Christmas time!! We are have been so blessed this year and we are so thankful for all the wonderful people in our lives!
