It's REALLY beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

At least up here at Papa and Binga's! Hudson loves going to look at the Christmas lights - we've gone driving around 3 nights now just to look. The other night we were looking at some on a bank and Hudson was saying "Wow. Pretty. Lights. Orange. Green." And then he said "AWESOME!" It was really cute!.

Jamie did not inherite his intense dislike of putting up Christmas lights from his dad - here's their house:

The Christmas tree and nativity scene.

The front porch

The crosses in the backyard (Cecil made them from a dead tree) and the little trees on the right are for each of the grandchildren (there's 6 of them). Each star on the tree has a grandchild's name on it.

But for all his hardwork - Cecil cannot even compete with this guy!

We drove to see this house last night. Absolutely crazy. Every inch of their yard and house was covered with lights, candy canes, santas, reindeer and snowmen. This is only the front - the back looks just like it. You can actually get out and walk all the way around the house to look at everything. WOW.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

At our house anyways - we put up our lights yesterday afternoon! I wanted to get them up when the weather was nice so that Jamie had no excuses! Jamie does not take after his dad in the putting up Christmas lights thing - Jamie thinks it could be skipped and I disagree - especially when Hudson will enjoy them so much this year!
We had to go buy new lights cause 6 of the 8 strands we used 2 years ago (He did get to skip lights last year so NO excuse this year!) weren't working. Hudson liked watching Daddy up on the roof and he loves looking at the pretty lights! Just wait till he we put up our Christmas tree - not sure how I will keep him away from all of those "balls"!

Up High!
