This Is My December

Rob and I got an early start on Christmas decorating this year, THANK GOD! Everything was done this weekend. Outdoor Christmas lights, decor on the inside, stockings are hung, and the tree is finished! Yippie! I don't think I've ever decorated this early and it really does lift a huge weight off my shoulders. We also cleaned like crazy so our friends and family could come visit for my birthday too! This weekend baby! Woo-hoo! The big 2-7. If it's anything like last year, my birthday will be pretty forgettable (as in, I couldn't remember what happened it was so awesome). This year, for the first time ever, I also brought over all my childhood ornaments to put on OUR tree. As I placed each one in its designated branch, I told Rob each ornaments background story. I told him where it came from and when it entered into my collection. It's always fun to reveal things about yourself, or to learn new things about your loved ones you never knew. So, check out our tree, condo decorations, and some of my favorite ornaments!

Rob did so good decorating the tree :)

Hanging my ornaments on OUR tree

Our first ornament as an engaged couple. AWWWWW!

This ornament is a fav in my family. It survived two tree fallings in one year. Very thin glass.

Love me some ZETA

Childhood ornament. I love that it has glitter...Rob does too :-D

I have several 'JOY' ornaments in honor of my middle name, and also because I bring joy and happiness to the world :)

Our gorgeous tree the kitties won't stop biting and climbing

The Christmas cheer continues outside to our front door!
