"Oh Christmas Tree"

For those of you who have seen our apartment know that we don't have a whole lot of storage, just the necessities that we need throughout the year. We would love to have a Christmas tree, but again because of lack of storage.... not possible, and trying to get a real tree and everything for that in the city... yikes! Not something I really want to venture out to do! So, Alex's mom went out and got us the perfect little Christmas tree for our little apt. This is our official "first Christmas tree" together and our very first ornament as a married couple. It looks great and we love it! Definitely something we will bring out for every Christmas to come. It reminds me of the Charlie Brown tree, which we love and is very fitting for a newlywed couple with student loans! haha


A little hard to read in this picture, but it says "Our First Christmas 2010"... and its even in red!
The first snowfall of the year. It seems a little earlier than most years. I'm just glad it happened on a day that I don't have to go out and scrape it off at 6:15 am. :)
Happy first snowfall to everyone in the midwest. There's no point in hating it.... that's something that is just out of our control! Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of snow, but its something I am working on accepting. :)
We're off to CostCo and the grocery store!
Oh, the joys of adulthood!!
