We had a lot of fun decorating our little apartment and for what we have, the house looks pretty cute. It helps that Phil has a smaller tree, so it fit nicely in between our fireplace and TV. We put up lights in our windows, put Christmas cards from friends and family on the unofficial Christmas wall, and Phil helped me decorate my first gingerbread house! We took the easy way out and got a pre-cut house, but I think we did a great job with decorating it!
As for the holiday, Phil unfortunately had to work this whole week, but we figured this was a time to start new traditions. Christmas Eve, Phil was at work, so I attended our church's service (since the congregation is only about 40 people, there is only one service), then waited for Phil to come home from 
work so we could open one present (I was the little kid that was waiting by the tree the minute he stepped through the door)! We made apple cider, opened one present each and then headed to bed (with visions of sugar plums in our heads)!

After church, it was back home to get into sweats and play with our new toys! Phil played his new Tiger Woods game for playstation while I camped out at the kitchen table and scrapbooked. Ah the life!
As for the rest of this week, Phil is finally on his Friday, so he is looking forward to his weekend. My parents are coming tomorrow (!!!!!), so today I will prepare (and anxiously await) their arrival.
We hope everyone had a safe and blessed Christmas! We'll post soon with our adventures of New Year's!
