Only 20 more days until Christmas!!!!! Christmas is my favorite time of the year so I like to get into the spirit by decorating the house with cute lil fun christmas decor. I took some small unwanted boxes and a book and wrapped it up for a for a nice lil touch for our expedit bookcase. {after: I can save it for next year for decor too!} {sitting nicely on the bookcase} I got some artificial berries to add a pop of colors to the gold branches Our entry way with a pop of green ornaments I went to Michaels over the weekend and got some create your own ornaments too. These were extremely fun to decorate and pretty easy too! Michaels is having 50% on most of their Christmas Decor so it was also a cheap lil project. I cant wait for our baby girl to be born so she can join me with all these fun projects during the holidays!! Oh and lil baby updates: We ordered our stroller and our dogs thinks that it's theirs. Miko (chihuahua) jumped on it like it was for him...

Last week on black friday, my guy and I thought about getting up at 3am to go to Target to get the $3 appliances. Yeah that didn't happen, we slept in until 10am..but we did manage to go Christmas Tree shopping the next day and found a nice black Christmas tree. That's right..black!! o_0 Surprisingly our friends and hubby picked it out and I was really skeptical at first, but now..lovinggg it! Thanks to my friend, Nhi Ha for helping me decorate and cooking for me that night too :D Theme:: Gold, Silver and Blue Happy Thursday everyone, boy time really goes by quick, I cant believe Thanksgiving was just last Thursday, and Christmas is just around the corner!

Happy anniversary to my brother and his lovely wife. A year ago they got married in small ceremony in South Dakota. I remember it was extremely cold there, only 20-30 degrees! I was their wedding photographer, her makeup artist, invites designer, and her floral helper :D it was such a beautiful traditional Vietnamese wedding. Hubby and I at the wedding Just weeks before the wedding, dad bought me my first Canon SLR camera, so I was very clueless on how to use it. Glad he got it for me cuz now I love it!

What a nice, long weekend. I was off from work for 4 days, but I felt it still wasnt long enough though! I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! This year, we couldn't make it South Dakota to spend time with our family but it was nice to be with our friends in town. Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.

via via via Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. It's a time to give, spend time with your love ones and just enjoying couple of days off from work of course. This weekend, were hoping to score a good deal on a Christmas tree. First stop is Garden Ridge since they are having a sale on all of their Christmas Trees!! Have you put up the Christmas Tree yet? I'm hoping that we find one we both love, and have it all decorated so I can take some pictures!!
