"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"...finally!

This past weekend we made it out to our town's Christmas tree lighting. We walked around, saw the tree light and SCREAMED in Mr. and Mrs. Claus' ears! It's a good thing he will not remember that part!



Waiting for the tree to be lit


Still waiting


And there we go!


The traumatic moment...


It was so bad Junior lost his shoe! (Poor Mr. and Mrs. Claus.)


We finally put our tree up and Junior was there to help with the lights...


and vacuum up the fallen needles. (Keep your eye on the pink bear at the bottom of the tree in the next two pictures!)


Opps! Vacuumed up a bear off the tree!

We also were able to get lights on the house. I was looking forward to having red and white lights this year. After Daddy spent all afternoon putting the lights on the house I realized that night the red ones looked pink/magenta. (The box did say "red" but because they were "transparent red" it left them looking a little off.) Even after seeing my disappointed look, Daddy still refused to get back up on the ladder, take them down, replace them with a truer red color bulb and put them back up. I guess we will be having pink and white lights this year!
