Decking the Halls

I know that poor Thanksgiving is not even here yet, but I don't really decorate for Thanksgiving anyway! So . . . with that said, I've been decking the halls! I just love Christmas. It is by far my most favorite time of the year. I love the lights, the decorations, the parties, the family, the traditions, the celebrations, the friends, the food, and the spirit! It's such a great time of the year, and I really wish we could just leave up the tree all year long.

This year is Ethan's first Christmas! My mom made him a stocking to match, and we are so excited for him to experience Christmas this year. I'm sure that he'll love to rip open all of his presents!

Andy has been doing some decking of the halls himself . . . for the past few months. He and his friend Andy have been working on a light program. The program allows you to choreograph your lights to your own music. So, he has spent hours preparing songs for our lights, and he's even got most of the lights up. He has to put up the finishing touches this weekend, and then we'll be good to go. The cool part about the lights this year is that he got an FM transmitter, which means that you'll be able to tune your car radio into the music that goes to our lights! Pretty genius huh? There will be a video to come later!

This leads me to my biggest pet peeve of all time! (Is that how you spell that?) Oh well! Anyway, I hate it when Christmas lights on houses are crooked! Call me crazy, tell me I have OCD's, I know, but it really drives me nuts. So, Andy is always careful to make sure that each light on the roof of the house is hooked in with a clip to ensure that they are all perfectly straight! Thanks babe for helping to keep my sanity! Love you!
