Tige is not at all fond of decorating for Christmas. He grumbles about it more and more every year. But this year I had a secret weapon that I didn't know about. My parents had their lights up when we were there for Thanksgiving. So did several of their neighbors. When we were pulling out of their driveway one night, Abby said "Look at all the stars!" I said "Those are Christmas lights! Aren't they beautiful?" She said "YES! We need some at our house!" Tige immediately accused me of putting her up to that, but I am truly innocent of any conspiracy. Those were her own words. So daddy ended up putting some lights up just for his girl! :)
Still a few grumbles though.
Abby was so helpful holding dad's feet on the ladder so he wouldn't fall.
Kason helped too.
Tige helped me assemble the tree, and then the kids and I decorated it. Tige wasn't sure he wanted a tree with decorations for the baby to pull down, but why should the older kids get penalized and miss out on the magic of Christmas just because you choose to have a baby? Put your trees up people! We have enjoyed ours and Taylor has been surprisingly good at leaving it alone.

I love the face Tige. You have nothing to complain about. There is no snow and you are in short sleeves! You big Scrooge.
Haha! Smile, Tige! No more grinchiness. I had to put our lights up all by myself, pregnant and in 24 degree weather.
