This is one of our families favorite things to do together during this season. Chad takes great pride in his
exterior illumination. Even though our back yard neighbor is in the running for the next Griswald. Our street name is
Peppermint Place, so we found it fitting to use red and white as our theme (even though Chad gets guff from all the Ute fans in the neighborhood, do to his bleeding blue), but I will post a picture of the finished product when we are done.
He was a bit nervous himself being on the roof, but having the girls up there added a bit more nerves. It's been two years since his fall, so we feel like we can tease him about it now. Pictures were taken on 11-28-08. Thanks babe, for making our home so festive!
The kids got to meet Santa at a work party we went to. The girls were thrilled, but McCoy not so much. Kinley said "I can't believe we got to talk to the real Santa." She has seen some that are just dressed up like him, (his helpers) so this was so exciting for her and Mailee.
Mailee wrote the sweetest letter to Santa this year. All on her own. She asked for one toy, clothes and shoes. Then told him what her sister and brother would like. She is a very sweet girl. Sensitive, and motherly. Anyway, she also wrote one that I saw at school, where she asked how the reindeer were and if Mrs. Claus was making cookies. So cute. What a fun time of year. HO HO HO
