Christmas preparations, and our place

It's been a year since i've been to America. and just like a year ago it's Christmas season again, and there is a Dolbey party this saturday :) just this time i'm not a tourist in a new world.. i was having fun decorating our place and giving it a Christmasy look. i'm not quite done yet - we have to set up a tree and get some other stuff, along with some furniture. so now that i took some photos soon i'll have to take new ones :)) anyway not to bore you..



we are on the second floor. so when you open the door, there is a small hall with a closet and the staircase.





welcome mat and shoe parade :))
then you go up the stairs..



and to the right is the living room.



the kitchen is connected to the living room and there are no doors separating those.

behind that french door is a balcony and right by it is a dining table.



the kitchen:





armenian stuff in the kitchen :)) magnets etc





behind those metal door is the washer and dryer.
now going back into the living room..



the futon (it folds out) and the new pillows.



now right above the little hall downstairs is this little hmm what to call it? space? originally Michael declared it to be his territory but doesn't use it for now. i moved the lamp guy back there for christmas season as we will have a tree to put up somewhere and move stuff around.



and to the left from the stairs is corridor leading to the rest of the apartment. (photos of all that will be in the next photo-report)



top of the counter


with one of my favorite trinkets i got for the wedding occasion



top of the fireplace..


yeah i just put all "nice, adorable, cute, awesome" stuff there. i'll have to reorganize it all later.

now here come photos of Christmas decorations!













and! mom ordered us gifts from amazon and told me to wrap it all nicely. i also got Michael's gifts shipped so i had to start the gift-wrapping process :)







now this is what i saw when i woke up today..







the best time is when i turn off the lights and only leave the snowflakes lights, the lamp guy, and the fireplace on. it looks so cozy that i just want to curl up by the fireplace, stare at the snow on the balcony and fade away. :)
