Well...At least in our apartment it is! Not so much outside...Did I mention I lived in Rexburg, Idaho for 6 YEARS? That's a lot of years of adapting to winter being COLD and there being snow on the ground during Christmas time. Let's just say I got a little use to a white Christmas...And I'm having trouble finding that loving feeling for a warm Christmas. We've still been in the 80's here, and though I should be counting my blessings, I'm not. I told my husband just yesterday, "How can I appreciate those first days of warmth and Spring if it never goes away!?" I'm a cold type of gal...I like my sweaters and my comfy sweat pants and snuggling under blankets, and right now...I'm still cranking my AC on...

| It's real hard to feel Christmasy when you go from this to this... |
Oh...And did I mention that I'm one of those cool people with an app that can splice and put pictures together and all that jazz? Ya...I'm pretty legit now. Oh, and how cute are we!? That was like our first married Christmas...Ahhh so young and cute!
So Christmas has been a little harder to get into the spirit of this year...But that doesn't mean our apartment isn't adorned with festivities from wall to wall. Here are a few of my favorites...
 |
| I love the lights, I love this old "Joy" sign my mother-in-law gave us, and I love nativities. Especially this wooden one. And notice my crafty snazzy abilities again will you. |
 |
| You won't find any snowflakes here in AZ, but we did put a few up. |
 |
| And Robby likes them. He'll stand there for minutes on end touching and just looking up at them. |
 |
| One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the tree! Specially at night when the lights are on. I could just turn all the lights off and sit with the glow of the tree. Love it. |
|

|
 |
| Robby even helped decorate! It was so funny to watch him...Most of his ornaments he just threw, but a few landed on the tree limbs. |
 |
| When you ask Robby, "Is that the Christmas tree?" He makes this nervous sounding laugh and smiles. I'm not sure if he's scared of it or likes it alot. He won't even go near the thing! Which I guess works to our advantage! He's such a hoot. |
 |
| Another thing I love are these stockings I made! I'm just so proud of them and they're super cute hanging in our apartment. |
 |
| My intention was to fill this and put it on the table so it'd look pretty and festive. But you can see what happened just a few short days later...Hubby *cough* Hubby *cough* |
 |
| I'm not even going to both filling this little guy! Someone would be in a sugar coma before it was empty! But he sure is cute! |
 |
| Another cute yet sketchy member of the Christmas decor is this cute little Santa. Robby still won't touch him, and he's on the floor in free range of bebe. |
When asked if a certain little man was excited and ready for Christmas this is the response I got...
 |
| Ahhh ya he's excited! Bring on Christmas and all it's festivities mommy! |
 |
| Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! (I get it says that "Happy Holiday" garbage...But I still think it's a pretty little sign) |
