If you hang them....

So remember the Christmas light fiasco a few nights back? Well...so much has changed since then (probably the fact that we're now in December helped...) but Hallelujah!! They're up!

Now here's the reason for the title...you see this was done at the beginning of the week 'sans husband'. Yesterday, our Christmas tree cutting expedition was postponed due to weather and so all of the sudden he turned into tiny tim and went christmas light crazy...needless to say there are a lot more lights outside and we just might have caught on to the Christmas spirit! (A few things I learned from my christmas light hangin' event...

No matter how hard you try, if:

1. the outlet is not working, the lights will not work (took 15 minutes to figure this one out)

2. you plug the front end of the lights into the back end....they will never ever turn on...(another 15 min...gone)

Just thought I'd pass my valuable lessons on...)

So, we hung lights, bought a great tree, decked our halls (and watched Mclaren throw all the Christmas ornament "balls") (I just looked over to see Laina stuffing ornaments in her stocking....lovely--I dont' hold out much hope for the tree this year :). And we finished it off with watching the Christmas Story. (I don't even watch it...I just sit and listen to hear Matt laugh :) (picture below for Grammy and Grandpa Wade)

And YES....Indy got McLaren dressed this morning in the astrounaut suit and then dressed himself in it...and that is what they wore ALL day (even to the stores...Matt wouldn't let me change him...in fact Indy is still wearing it after sleeping in it....time for baths!)
