CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!!

Well, it is a little tradition we have started to hang Christmas lights the day after Thanksgiving, well at the least some time during the weekend! Troy and the kids did it Friday. Tyler, Brandon, & Kara were ecstatic to hang them up. Troy, on the other hand was not as excited, but he does it anyway because he knows how much the kids LOVE it!! They are his faithful little helpers!! They stick by him the entire time. Tyler is very good to keep his Dad on track and not allow him to take too long of breaks!! Tyler likes to get stuff done right away!! Troy let the kids get up on the roof for part of it, but then put them to work with me on the ground to assemble our snowman. Tyler, Brandon, & Kara were so excited, the snowman is a new addition this year so they thought that was pretty cool. After the kids and I assembled our snowman, we just layed outside on the grass and played around, giving Troy moral support!! The weather was absolutely GORGEOUS!! It was a great day to do lights, compared to previous years when the kids and I stayed inside and made hot chocolate for Troy so he could come in and warm up!! Emily & Brooke were taking a nap while this event was going on, but Emily was very impressed to see the lights that night when we took her outside to see them.
