Last year sometime in January we were at K-mart and noticed the section of Christmas items that were 90-98% off, so we decided to stock up and store it until Christmas rolled around since we didn't really have much by way of Christmas decor. It was awesome to get a good deal and a good start for our first Christmas together. So a few weeks before Christmas we got it all out and decorated outside our apartment...
...it was tediously fun (and somewhat cold).
Also included was this Christmas tree (these cost like... $80 or so, and we got it for $8! sweet deal!). Oh, and thanks to our moms for the ornaments!
And eating yummy crepes... 
...which is a great Hess tradition that I definitely loved making part of our own traditions. Not only were they yummy, but Jared was so sweet to get breakfast all ready while I set up and had fun with a new present that he got me - not that Christmas is all about presents, but I just have to brag about how good he is to me! Now... this wasn't something we splurged for on a whim, it is something that we've been saving up for as an investment for me to be able to work from home when the baby comes. I thought we'd be saving up for months and months still, but Jared was amazing and surprised me with it for Christmas!!! (and, it was on sale so we had to take advantage of it!!)
He's so great! We had a fun filled Christmas break and really really really enjoyed being able to spend two full weeks together without work & school - enjoying Christmas, our anniversary and New years together!
