scenes of an apartment christmas

me and the hubs live in a tiny apartment far away from our families. and this year like last year, we are leaving about halfway through the month (dec 15th!) to fly home and spend christmas with our families, where we'll be surrounded by all kinds of christmas cheer.

so last year when we were newly married, buried in school work, finals, and part-time jobs i did not do a single thing to bring christmas into our little apartment, zip, zero, nada.
this year i vowed would be different. and it is. thanks to just a few small decorations our apartment feels merry and bright, and when kyle finishes his last final next week, then he'll get to open all of his presents waiting for him underneath our 2ft tree!
