Let there be light....

This year is the first time since we have lived in Texas that we hired someone to hang Christmas lights. We always said we would never do it but you know kids will make you do crazy things! ha! They came to hang them last Tuesday which is a MDO day for Reese. She was sooo disappointed that she didn't get to watch the entire process but I promised her it would be a great surprise when she got home.

They put the lights on a timer and they were supposed to come on at 6. So we hurried up after dinner and went outside to wait for the surprise. Bob pulled his car around front so he could play Christmas music and he and Reese were dancing around the yard as we waited..seriously I'm not sure who is the bigger kid!:)



When they came on Reese was so excited, she said "Oh boy thank you Daddy". So sweet!


Don't worry we aren't turing them on all the time until after Thanksgiving but we are starting to get in the Christmas mood around here:)
