- Christmas Cheer Is Here -

We may be [literally] living on top of each other in a tiny one-bedroom apartment, but there is still plenty of room in our home for Christmas cheer!  We decorated our small space this year with lots of wedding gifts from lots of very generous people! :)

We love our 4-foot tree from Tommy and Chelsea + the red and silver glittery ornaments from Steve and Margy!  One of the most thoughtful gifts, and it fits our apartment's color scheme perfectly! 


The tree is filled with ornaments we adore.  Three favorites: 

"This day calls for big girl shoes!"  A sweet reminder of the best day of our lives + my fair queen friends. Thanks, Alicia! 

Oh Maui, how we miss you! :(

A crazy wonderful wedding gift from Brian's siblings: a helicopter ride over Hawaii!  We will never forget it. Thanks Laura, Sarah, Lisa, Brant, and Garett!

My parents bought this nativity set in Rome when they came to visit at the end of my semester abroad. I can't look at it without missing the Eternal City dearly and also remembering how that semester pushed me forward in the faith.  Isn't it mind-boggling that the hope for eternal life and the savior of the world came as a sweet baby?  Hand-picked with love and blessed by the Pope; I love it.

We believe in the season! Thanks, Bill and Julie.

We are spending Christmas Eve and Day this year with both of our families.  Christmas cheer and blessings to you and yours! 

"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas."  -- Calvin Coolidge
