Lights

I love Christmas lights!
When I was younger, my dad always put up multicolored Christmas lights on the outside of our house. They were the cool big kind.
Well, I married a guy who hates heights and we have a two-story house so the outside lighting is left up to me.
So, since it's up to me,
we've never really done it.
Max and Emma want lights soooo bad.

Our neighbors all have lights.

Max's good friend's house looks like this for heavens sake (See my competition? It's a little intimidating!):

He BEGS me every year to put lights up.
I don't have lights and I can't justify spending money on lights right now
but I do aim to please.
So,
brace yourself for some awesomeness,
I give you our lights...


















The funny thing is, Emma and Max are thrilled!
I'm so glad my kids aren't hard to please.

The lights were great, as was the laundry...

It made me laugh.

Cari said...

Yeah, the laundry was funny but I didn't want to offend anyone. :)

I was not offended, but instead burst into laughter...oh, the accidental things in our lives which have so much relevance to how we may be feeling.
