Christmas has hit the Schwartz apartment!

Justin and I leave for home for Thanksgiving on Saturday morning. Then when we get back we'll only be home for 2 1/2 weeks before we head home again for Christmas, so we decided, even though it is before Thanksgiving, it was still OK to set up the Christmas stuff already. So it was a wonderfully fun Family Home Evening!!

My cutest Husband getting out the tree:D

We had Hot Chocolate.... Peppermint Hot Chocolate... YAY!

Stage 1 of the Christmas Tree Putting together. We bought a big one and had to rearrange our living room to make it work. But... even though our couch is really close to our television, we decided it was worth it!:D We both LOOOOOOVE Christmas!:)

Decorations made by yours truly! Justin and I have a new favorite store called Porters... with all of the crafts you can dream of. They have WONDERFUL Christmas stuff, and we had a lot of fun coming up with ideas!

Our cute little wreath. We hang it on the inside of the door so we can look at it.... selfish huh?:)

My little baby tree... it's going on our table:)

We finished stringing the extra lights around the window:)
(yes, that is Home Improvement on the TV... Hello Al!)


And our Tree!! TA DA!!! We LOVE it! I even plugged in evergreen scent so our house still smells like christmas tree even when our tree isn't real.:)
