christmas lights
so we finally got up our tree and just last night i was able to put up the final strand of lights for the house. saturday we started on the lights for the exterior and with the help from the two part time elfs it took a little more time than i would have liked, and was not completed. i started by getting out the lights and trying to sort them out, detangle them, and figure out which ones needed some attention (fuse, light, etc..). i ended up climbing onto the roof to put some lights up above, as soon as i was off the top rung ethan scampered up the ladder to join me. he made it all the way to the top before cherisse had to yank him down. not a worry in the world for him as he was hanging out ten feet off the ground. eventually when i was up the ladder the old child makenzie regulated who went up and down.cherisse decorated the tree with the help of the two elves again. luckily so far they have only broken one ornament each. i suspect that before the 25th reaches us that ethan will break one or two more but that is to be expected.

We have a few little elves that make our work take longer than needed as well. Gotta love their enthusiasm. Out Usaully doesn't get any ornament on the bottom half. We'll see how it goes this year! Your fam is so cute. Congrats to the huge Newport tree!:)
I cannot stinkin' believe how big those kiddos are getting! And that baby girl is so sweet! And I cannot believe that you were so blasted close and I didn't get to see you but then again I guess that's how it seems to go I was seriously on your doorstop and didn't get to see you! alright that's it - we need to plan a trip just for that purpose!
