the tree.

christmas time is officially here and the nativity, advent calendar, and christmas dishes are all a go! the christmas playlist has been created and plays 24/7 and white christmas has been watched. and the tree.... oh, the tree. this year ricks and i werent too excited to go buy a tree since we knew we would only be able to enjoy it for about 2 weeks before we head back to utah for the break. so.. instead, we went to my favorite ikea and purchased some fabric with a tree printed on it. i sewed an opening for the dowel to go through, screwed some eye hooks to either side of the dowel and hung it up on the curtain rod with some twine. we then hung some ornaments through the fabric and, wah lah! a beautiful, apartment space friendly tree! we seriously love it. when we first hung it up, we could not stop staring at it. we seriously just sat staring at it and talking about how awesome it was and how happy it made us. ah, christmas! we love you!
