The Busiest Weekend of the Year

Total Transformation in Three Days

The minute Thanksgiving is over it's time to prepare for Christmas. Down go the autumn leaf garlands and up go the pine wreaths. Out come the endless shopping lists, the party plans, and the panic of too much stuff to do with so little time... I still love it anyway.


Dave takes Hailey to the Tree Farm where they hunt for the perfect tree. This year Hailey found the most expensive tree on the lot and offered to help pay for it .


Five hours later, after wrapping strands of lights around each limb, my hands black with sap and red with scratches and punctures, We behold the most perfect Christmas tree in the whole world


Even the rodent has his cage decorated with red and green bulbs, complete with a personalized stocking



Everything is ready!

Let the on-line shopping begin
Let the music play
Let the lights twinkle
Let the snow fall

Since you are all ready for Christmas, how about going to your parents house and help them with their feeble attempt at decorating.

They are just getting too old to do all that stuff

Looks fabulous Wendy! can't wait to see it in person, especially the rodent. You guys are so weird.
