Our little Christmas Home Tour

I am linking up to Kelly's Korner for her big Christmas Tour of Homes post! 
Head over there to see TONS of amazing Christmas home decor!

As y'all know, we live in a cozy apartment (which we love!) but around the holidays our little home can get quite cramped with all the decorations. Christmas is my most favorite holiday and I don't let the size of this place stop me from putting up a BIG tree! We bought a 6 ft tall, wide tree which is definitely designed to be in a home, but it has worked in all 3 of our apartments. We've really lucked out with all of our apartment homes by having a sunroom, which is where we always put the tree. It is perfect! Anyways...enough talk, welcome to our cozy little home!

Our tree with a crooked star. We need to just toss that tree topper,
it's never ever straight! Also, the reason there are no ornaments from 2 feet down is because
of our 9 month old son and our CRAZY cat. The ornaments wouldn't stand a chance :)
Since we can't do Christmas lights outside, I put these candles in all the windows.

One of our side tables in the living room. I painted that bowl in 2009 at "Color me Mine"
It was such a fun experience!
This little countdown Santa is on our TV stand

We don't have a fireplace (sad!) so we don't have a place for our
amazing stockings. I just put them under our entryway mirror for the picture.
Right now, they only come out on Christmas morning, all stuffed with goodies!


 And now for a couple of my favorite ornaments!

Pinterest idea that I made with Caleb, I love how
it turned out!

This was our first ornament as a married couple!
My best friend in college gave it to us right before I walked
down the isle, and this is the first ornament we put on the tree
every year. 

And that is my super short home tour of Christmas decor! Our prayer is that this time next year we will be celebrating Christmas in our first home. You better believe there will be a "Joy to the World" song being sung with our family all standing around outside when we turn on the outside lights on our home. Name that movie :)

I hope you felt cozy while touring our Christmasy apartment! We sure do love this place and count our blessings. Merry Christmas everyone!
