Thanksgiving Point Lights

Christmas lights are awesome, especially to 4 little kids who were going a bit stir crazy. We took them to see the lights at Thanksgiving point. Kade fell asleep on the way there and had a hard time waking up but once he did, he was in heaven. The whole thing was cute, cheap and we got to stay in the warm car, so definitely a success.

 Afterward, we got to see a couple real reindeer. Only two more weeks til Santa Comes!

 Sorry, these pictures aren't the best. I forgot my camera and only had my cell phone.

Lights up or not...

Every year, I ask Paul to put the lights up (I'm too big a wuss to do it myself) and every year he's exhausted due to Target. He usually just puts it off til it snows then "can't" do it. This year he had no excuses and I didn't even have to ask! Our house is a scary one to put lights on. It's steep and it was not designed for Christmas lights. Kent, being the nice brother he is, helped Paul come up with this grand idea (I think it was more Paul's than Kent's). Here's a picture of the boys at work.What you ask is Kent holding? That would be a rope. Yes a rope which is tied around Paul's waist. Yes thats right, a rope to keep him from falling off our very tall house. I am married to a crazy person but I have to admit, the lights look fantastic and I'm grateful my husband is still alive!
