Christmas Lights

Every year we add more lights to the outside of our house.  One of these years we are going to look like the Griswalds, and that would be ok with me.  I love Christmas, I love lights, I love decorating, I love buying presents, I love the magic of Christmas, I love getting Christmas cards, but I don't want you to worry I still do hate winter.  I think about 75% of our neighborhood has some kind of Christmas decorations this year.  I love that!  Here are a couple pictures of our house at night.

Without a flash...

I love it!

Garage

Only our true friends can really appreciate this, but we got the boat in the garage!  This is amazing news if you have ever seen our garage.  We finally splurged and bought some nice garage shelving that has doors to hide the s*** we have collected over the years.  Tyson thought it was awesome to help build the shelves!  He is quite good at using a hammer!

Until he hit Joel's hand...just kidding, my hubby is just a dork and thought this would be a funny picture!

But apparently it does help if you stick your tongue out!

But here is the proof:

Boat in the garage!

And here is the trash to prove that we did actually get rid of some of our s***!

Decorating the House

The boys loved putting up the Christmas lights this year.  They both loved being on the roof, very much unlike their mom and dad!  Tyson insisted that they all wear the Santa hats the entire time.  When Joel's would "fall off" he would run and get it and make him put it right back on.  As you can tell by the pictures we have had a pretty warm fall.  We can't complain about putting up the lights when you can wear sleeveless shirts and shorts!

And then when it was nap time Charlie still wanted to wear his hat and had to sleep with his dancing Santa and singing dog!

I love Christmas!
