It;s beginning to look alot like Christmas...

The Ugly




The pretty ( but our flash is weird, it's actually prettier in person)




So we spent Friday & Sat getting our house holiday ready!! We have a family tradition that we have been able to uphold every year, but the last 2 years(our home was too small) for 2 trees! We call 1" The Pretty Tree", and one "the Ugly Tree"..with no disrespect. The kids don't even know we call it that! but This year was especially hilarious. Note the lights on the ground, and the decor all in 1 spot, Where they could reach from couch! What a crack up we laughed so hard. Fun times.


But the story gets better! we put lights up outside and 2 deers, 1 standing 1 with the deer moving up & down to get water in a pond made by blue lights. Well, we put it all up & the whole family went out to look at the lights, when our new puppy, River, immediately went over to the "pond", and went to the bathroom. Our little man Ethan said "look River is filling up the pond". we laughed. Well the next day, Ethan was outside working with me in the garage and went over to the "pond", and started to fill up the pond. It wasnt funny (at the time), now great stories to tell!
