We got quite a bit done today. We were able to able up some Christmas lights outside. On the one side of the porch there is lattice and we used red lights and made a Christmas tree shape with them, on both sides so people driving from both directions can see it. It looks pretty, simple but pretty. My hands are all cut up from weaving the lights in and out of the lattice…. glad that’s over!

We are slowly adding more decorations around the house. I have a mini tree that i think we are going to put in Anabel’s room and it will be her night light ^_^ i think she will like that.

I’ve stocked up on white lights from after Christmas sales so i plan on stringing a lot around the house. Although we need to get the living room painted before i can fully decorate.

I’m excited because on Thanksgiving we will be at the in-laws and we plan on cutting down a tree then and bringing it back home on Friday, so that weekend we will be putting it up. Also we hope to get the paint for the living room that day too, so hopefully we can start getting it painted!

We still have to figure out what this years ornaments are going to be that we make. I think we figured that this year we are going to trace Anabel’s hand and Daddy is going to cut it out of wood, sand it good and stain it, and that will be her decoration for the year. I suggested that Bob wood burns her name on one side and the year on the other.
