oooh. aaah.

My children {and by children I mean the boys because the girl was too tired and it was cold and she needed to make sure the comfy chair didn't fly up off the floor and hit the ceiling } spent Saturday evening putting up my Holiday lights. I helped when and where they needed but for the most part just stayed back and let them do their thing. I LOVE what they created for me. The yard/house looks very festive and when the lights dance to the music it makes me happy.

The kid and I are fine tuning the display with some awesome looking LED lights and I heard rumour last night that one more trip to procure additional lights is necessary. LOL! That is ALL him as I have told him I am finished with my holiday lights purchases for this year.

Last night while we were fine tuning we observed the neighbors outside surveying their house/yard and discussing how they should decorate. {They have a nativity scene in a window but nothing else} The kid and I discussed what they might be saying. "Gosh. The new people are putting us to shame. We had BEST get some lights up."

This morning as I put together this posting I can see and hear them attaching lights to the eaves. I don't think they are having as much fun as we had putting up our lights. They probably need some tunes and stiff drink. tee hee.

QOTD:
Do you light up your house for the holidays? Have you ever either been put to shame or put the neighbours to shame in the whole lighting up the house situation?
