All ready for Santa




OK...I have finished the exterior illumination for the season.....I think. Santa should be able to see us now. I am never quite happy with what I have done, but it is a little different this year. Tacky?.....a little, but my family likes it. I tend to add and change things throughout the season. I have my rudolph village set up inside. About 3 years ago Scott bought me "Santa's Castle" from Rudolph. He did not realize that he had subscribed to receiving a new village piece about every 2 months. So now I have a village with 12 beautiful rudolph buildings. None of which look like the original grayish purple castle that was in the original Rudolph special They are neat though and the girls and I have fun setting them up. Though with Kylee we have a no superfluous touching rule. She tends to see with her hands and that ends in some sort of break. This year I had super glue on hand just incase, but thankfully, I didn't have to use it.


I will post some interior decorating in a few days.


Happy Holidays!

Bailey was the lucky girl to find the Easter Egg hidden in a "fresh pile". He tends to do that every year!
