I Told You So!

Today is the first day of December! We are officially in the MONTH of Christmas! And, miraculously, even with today being a Saturday, we truly had NO plans for the morning or afternoon. So, I reminded Jaysen that there were oodles of Christmas lights in the garage waiting for him to hang on the house. His reply, "It's only going to be like 30 degrees today. It's too cold." Sigh.

Let's flashback two months ago. It's October. Still pretty nice weather outside. I mention to Jaysen (A couple of times!) that perhaps he should get the Christmas lights hung before it gets too cold outside. I even remind him of last year when he waited until December and froze to death hanging the lights.

I have no pity for the man.

So, there he was this morning. In the cold, stringing lights. Complaining about how cold he was. So, I enlisted the help of the kids (after bundling them up sufficiently) and we went out to help.

I can't say that anything looks professional. Especially the bushed done by my son. BUT! The lights are up. We are festive! Not anything like my Grandpa's....but it's ok. ;0)

Christmas lights

If any of you are looking for a great place to take your kids to see Christmas lights....look no further! My grandpa takes this stuff SERIOUSLY! Every year it gets bigger and better. And though the pictures are great....up close is quite the experience. So, get going! 2507 Twin View Lane. Take Addison heading west (Like you are going to Filer)until the 2500 mile and take a left. Go down another 2 1/2 miles or so until you get to Twin View Lane (it's on your left). But trust me...once you go about a mile....you'll see the lights. I promise. You won't be able to miss it. ;0)
Merry Christmas!
