Decking the walls and yeah the trees
This year we booked it home from Thanksgiving because we wanted to ensure plenty of time to deck our walls. See, we moved into our new house just after Christmas last year, so, decorating ideas have been stewing around inside Jenny’s head for a solid twelve months. When I say stewing I mean a folder chock full of magazine and catalog clippings illustrating wonderful ideas for both inside and out. Needless to say she had a grand plan that, unfortunately, I chickened out on executing.
We had a great time hanging lights and putting up the wreaths. My dad came up for Thanksgiving weekend to help us and make sure I didn’t take a tumble off the ladder. To hang the wreaths I hung out the second story windows, inserted a hook in the window jamb then slipped the wreath frame onto the hook. I wouldn’t consider that really safe, but dad had left by that point so I got away with it.
As you saw I squelched my inner Clark Griswold this year, but don’t worry I’ve got a few ideas that in time I know will cause air traffic concerns.
PS: It’s just darn hard to get a good picture of Christmas lights. I need Santa to bring me one of them fancy cameras that will make those night shots look better.
PSS:Â We’ll get shots of the inside decor sometime soon.
PSSS: Jenny, don’t get any ideas about that camera. I can assure you it’s not in the budget.

[...] It took us a little longer than expected but we finally have a new roof! Our old roof was nearly 50 years old but was in great working condition. However, it wasn’t the prettiest thing in the world and our insurance company was gigging us pretty good due to its age. You can see pictures of the old roof at Christmas time by clicking here. [...]
