MERRY CHRISTMAS! I got you some pics. :)

I finally decided to get these pics posted of our little tree. It's very humble, but I think it came out pretty.(Although there are a few more presents under the tree.) It definitely adds warmth to our little apartment despite its iciness. :) Right now it's snowing outside, and there is already a lot of snow out there. I'll take a pic real quick after posting these other two pictures.



Here's a pic of us sitting in front of the tree when we put it up. We took a second picture as seen below, but uh, it came out kinda blurry; which is a tragedy because Niklas looked happier in this one! So much for the self-timer idea. :P We're thinking we need to get a new camera eventually.



And now, here are some pics just taken for your viewing pleasure. :)



This is a common scene for me. Niklas on his wonderful laptop. I envy the speed it has compared to this iMac I'm using right now. Pics are not fun to download when it takes such a long time. :( But see the tree--more presents! Guess who's present is the large blue box and who's is the small blue box? That's right---the squirt is mine. :)


This is what it looks like outside of our apartment right now. Our Jeep and Ford are in the foreground in between the other two cars.


Usually you can see the Rexburg temple up on the hill from this view, but as you can see, too much snow to see much of anything out there.


Okay, I decided to take some pics of myself out in the snow. Yeah, just try to ignore the lopsided eyes and big nose. :P Wow, Kristine, no wonder you made fun of my nose growing up---I always forget how puggish it really IS... ;)


This is me trying to look happy being out in the snow, but I think all I really wanted to do was get back inside the warm apartment. Niklas came home late last night from work and said that it was -21 degrees or something insane!


My mom sent us a box full of yummy things to eat (CHOCOLATE) and this is actually part of what I ate for breakfast---cookies and fudge!! Old habits die hard. :P Thanks Mom! And looky below at what Niklas was able to get last night with his Christmas money:


Now he can deal with the temptation to play games instead of prepping for classes in January. ;) Actually, I'm not too worried about that.


Here is our little nativity scene thanks to my mom.

Here are some pics of Niklas, since I am bad about taking pictures and I should get better since you only have this time in your life once in this life. I love this face--it is one of the dearest ones to me now. And I love that I get to see this look on his face so often. I love my husband.


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT! (Whenever bedtime is for you, I guess. :P)
