What would I do without my mother? We received some sweet Christmas Decor in the mail last week from my mom. I was so excited that I took a break from writing essays and decorated. I turned the Christmas music up and it finally started to feel like the holidays. As Lincoln and I put the tree together I became gitty with Christmas excitement--no joke. Having our tiny apartment look like Christmas really makes it FEEL like Christmas time. And thanks mom for knowing exactly my style. I love sparkles!
{This cute tile was a Christmas gift from my friend Stephanie--so sweet}
{I LOVE LOVE LOVE our tree. I love the theme of silver and green ornaments. I love how the tree is the PERFECT size for our tiny apartment.
I couldn't be happier.}
{This sign is the product of Enrichment. I love Relief Society.}
Doe.
A dear.
A female dear.
{And of course the peppermint treats for our guests}
{This is the note that my mom sent with two of these beauties. And I can tell you one thing, Lincoln has been so cute and leaves me sweet notes in my stocking everyday. }
Happy Holidays!

I am obsessed with Christmas decorations! I totally love yours. They are too cute! The leaving a note in the stockings is such a good idea.....I love it!
How cute are you? Your decorations and tree look awesome!
Oh cute!! I think it's so important to have Christmas decor up -- it really does help get into the mood!! Espcially when you're away from home.
Your mom is so awesome! I'm a little jealous. I've been following her blog religiously since you posted the 4th of July decorations she made. So cute. :)
So enjoy these simple years. David and I have so many warm memories of our first year of marriage in our hole-in-the-wall-with-no-air-conditioning-during-VA-summers apartment. It may be simple but - hey - love is ALL you need.
Merry Christmas, Essigs! Merry Christmas!
P.S. Love the decorations. You have such a great sense of style!
