I am such a slacker the last few weeks. December has come and pretty much gone, can't believe Christmas is in a little over a WEEK! We aren't going home this year for Christmas so it will be our first one alone with no family. Tickets are so expensive and Darin can't really leave the shop to someone yet. We were going to get a real tree so it smelled like Christmas in our home but we were a little late on purchasing one so all of the smaller ones were gone. I wanted one that was around 5ft so I didn't have to get on a ladder or anything like that, plus it would have to fit in the elevator. I was sad they were all gone but the next day I was in a store and they had a promotion on fake ones, so I caved and got a fake one. It's the perfect size and it makes me smile when it's night and the tree is all lit up. I did white lights and silver decorations. I also am super excited about our stockings!! I ordered some from the Hallmark here and had them embroidered with our initials. We also have a few presents from my parents, my mom was sure to shove some in my suitcase last time I was home so now with the tree, stockings and presents it feels like Christmas. 

We also have a new little niece named Joss who was born Dec 7th. Drey and baby are both doing well and Joss is so so cute!
