• We have decided to spend Christmas eve at our apartment and have Christmas morning together, just us two with a BIG Christmas breakfast!

oh christmas tree

Sorry guys, all I had was my cell phone. So I did what I could with what I could.

Our appartment is not too generous on space so we fit the biggest tree we could... a 3 footer, and we are freakin' proud of it! It's also on a stool so that it doesn't hide behind our chairs.

We decorated it that night with what we had. Oh and he also went with us to a movie- my car is sapped and smells like pine.
