Our First Christmas

This year was our first Christmas as a married couple! It's been so much fun having someone help put up the tree and decorate the house in Christmas decor. We had a great afternoon together getting in the Christmas spirit!
Ben working on the tree. This is the 1st fake tree I've ever had. Well, except for my little Charlie Brown tree
A little tree hugger
This is our coffee table. I bought this table 5 or 6 years ago when I fist moved out on my own and it is the best! It has a drawer on the side so that you can change the inside display. It's looking very festive I think.

Our little tree all lit up and decorated. Growing up, my mom would give us a different ornament every year. She usually got us something that went along with our interests that year. I'm so grateful that she did this for us. If Ben and I ever decide to have kids, this is definitely one tradition I will pass on to them.

This weekend, we celebrated Christmas together. We're going to be in Nebraska over Christmas, so we wanted to do our own little Christmas before we left.

Ben and I must think alike, because we both got each other new shoes!
Ben also got me this scarf. I love the colors on it
I also got him some cold weather running gear and socks. Although, with this crazy weather we're having, I don't know when he'll get to use it!

After presents we celebrated with pancakes and mimosas!
What a great first Christmas together!
