Christmas 2010 so far.

I've been pretty crafty this holiday season, if I may say so myself.
I've been working on painting my own tree ornaments.
I'm making my own advent calendar.
I (with plenty of help from my wonderful mother) made Den and I stockings.
Oh, and Rosco. Of course Rosco gets a stocking.
I've got the patio decorated with lights.
And that's about it so far- but still- a lot more than I can say for last year.
(It's expensive to decorate for Christmas!!)

Anywho. Here are some pictures to illustrate. :)

I'm still waiting for some cute calendar numbers I ordered on Etsy to arrive to complete my advent calendar. The gems on there now will replace the number of each date passed.

(understand now, Mom?)

Here's my stocking. Isn't it the cutest stocking you've ever seen?

(I know you're jealous.)

 Here's Denver's stocking. Also adorable. In a as-manly-as-Christmas-gets kind of way.

And Rosco's stocking.

(I already got him a treat and put it in there and he's already stolen it once... punk.)

Here are the nutso icicles  outside of our apartment.

They hang right over our downstairs neighbors' walkway.

And we're pretty okay with it of one falls and hits one of the jerks.

(Not very festive of me, but you'd have to understand the entire situation.)

 Here is the decorated patio- lights with silver garland and all.

And the Christmas Tree. Hopefully next year we'll be living somewhere that can accommodate a full size tree- storage wise.

Notice all of the bells at the bottom of the tree.

That's my alarm system for when Rosco;s snooping around in the presents.

Or trying to snag another ornament to destroy...

And that's all for now.

Happy holidays.
