Christmas decorations and a deployment

This is an exciting Christmas for us this year because it is our first Christmas we were able to decorate our new house! Last Christmas we spent it in billeting making Christmas dinner in a bathroom :) It is also a meaningful Christmas because it is the last holiday we get to spend together before my hubby deploys :( So it is a little bittersweet.

Our first real Christmas Tree!!!



My Fireplace!!! I had been begging for one since last December!!











A tradition we have is to exchange ornaments with each other that represent the other person for that year. Last year was my hubby's first year in the Air Force so I gave him a little Airman and this year he logged a lot of hours in the gym so I gave him this little buff ornament. He thought it was hilarious.

My ornament!


It is a little hard to get into the Christmas spirit knowing my hubby is going to be leaving in a few weeks for 6 months. But at least we are able to spend the holidays together because there are a lot of families without their loved ones. Deployments suck :(


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!
