Decorating



While Clark W. Griswold was busy decorating the outside of the house, trying to beat out all the neighbors, the kids, Nana, and I were working on the inside. About once a week Jerrod has us all pile in the van to drive around the block and make sure our house is still the most decorated, I think the word you're looking for is, Obsessed!! He does a great job though and we love him for it!! JD found a Santa hat, and two decorative stockings that his Great-Gramma Ardy made and with his snowsuit he became Santa for the day!! I love getting out the decorations and remembering how we got them and what they mean to us, and also to put up whatever I purchased at the after-Christmas sale the year before!!

Good ol' Clark, we need to rent that before Christmas is over! You've got to share a picture of the final product, your house all lit up! We are kind of Scroogey that way, we put a few lights in the window and a wreath on the door and call it good.
Oh and I also pig out while watching Biggest Loser for whatever reason! It should be the exact opposite though!

Jd looks so cute. Miss you guys!

I'm glad Jerrod is "a little" obsessive about the outside decorations. It's always great to go around different neighborhoods just to look at all the fantastic Christmas themes!

Jerrod's not obsessive. He's an American. Way to represent well. I'm proud of ya!

Ashley Wray, we've never met, but for some reason my wife and I eat potato chips and drink pop during Biggest Loser, too, so I had to respond to your post. Seriously, it's not even on purposes, that's just what we crave on that day only. You stay tough...just like us.

You forgot to smash your tree thru the neighbors window. I dare you to leave them up so all you have to do is turn on the lights next year. Hang on a min. linda came into the room and I have to put my foot down!!!!!!!!
