First Week in Pictures

Apartment Pictures
 T.V area in the living room. We have watched Christmas Vacation a few times... :)

 Here's a shot of the kitchen. You can't see from this picture, but the fridge is to the left. And on the right is a little wicker thing with drawers that we use as a pantry. And I am working on filling the wine rack that is by the door, but you know how hard it can be to keep one of these things full.
 Here's a shot of the living room from the kitchen. The couch is new-Dates got it from Ikea. It is comfy, but very low to the ground b/c when he was putting it together, he messed up and we can't get the legs on so it is just sitting directly on the floor. He also ordered the tiny tiny coffee table. it barely fits a magazine and a small candle. That table was here and none of the chairs match, but it will do. There's one of our heaters in the top left of the picture. These things are amazing. They work so well. And there's Nola just chillin on the right side.
 Another living room picture. We have not used the fire place yet, but I think it will be nice to have once it gets a little colder. Those doors to the right go in to the kitchen.
This is the hallway from the living room to the front door. The first door to the right is the bathroom (I'll get a pic of that later). The second door is a bedroom. Straight ahead behind that curtain is the coat closet. To the right of the coat closet is the washer/dryer and the front door. That brown box is what Dates was using as a hamper-it is now empty and in the trash.
 Fire place again.
 And again.
 Nola sitting on her favorite chair in the living room.


Covent Garden Tree Lighting
A huge reindeer thing covered in lights on one side of the market. Word on the street is they have real reindeers there on Saturdays you can take your picture with. I will be looking more in to this.
 The tree before it was lit.
 The Apple Market decorations. (Notice the giant disco ball in the middle.)
 London Gay Men's Chorus!
 Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer
Here they are singing Dancing Queen. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a little Dancing Queen and a disco ball!
 Dates had too many spiced ciders this night. You know how he gets when something is free...
 Pretty tree!


Friday Night Mexican Gone Wrong
 Stupid stupid Loco Mexicano.
 Some of the ingredients used to make my own cheese dip.
 Not too bad!!


Nola's Weekend Trip
 Walking to the train station.
 Not too sure about this whole train thing...
 She loved it once we let her sit in her own seat.


Random Pics
 Took this on Sunday. We were walking around and it was such a pretty day.
This is our street. Our apartment is on the left side.
