Christmas time

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything, but I doubt anyone really reads this thing anyway.

So, we've been getting ready for the Christmas season. Ryan and I have been enjoying celebrating together. We decorated our little dollar store christmas tree that we purchased together last year. Think "Charlie Brown christmas tree" and it's a pretty good image of our own. We decorated it with two little trumpet ornaments and some homemade quilted heart ornaments. We topped it off with a creepy plastic santa head. It's perfect. This is a very significant Christmas for us both, because it is the last Christmas we will have before tying the knot. We know that next year we will have to juggle celebrating with different households, so this is the last year of Christmas simplicity for us. We're really enjoying being a part of each other's family Christmas traditions, and we can't wait to form our own. Christmas is such a great time of year. It's a season of curling up with a warm blanket, countless cups of tea and hot chocolate, festive neighborhood lights, and promise of special moments spent with friends and family. I'm so thankful to be spending such a beautiful time of year with my husband to be.
