Festive Family

It's fun to watch the neighborhood come to life with christmas lights every year. Drab, ho-hum houses spring to life with their owner's take on the holiday. Clay did a beautiful job hanging twinklers here, blue lights have always been my favorite. Nana and Bumpa sent us a little tree, all decorated, and we have placed it in the front window with a penquin topper. Sorry for the blurry photo, we all know mommy's hands shake.



Of course Pearl is already trying to pull it down, but it's managed to stay upright so far. She is fascinated by the balls and ribbons, but the best part is....



...the box it arrived in! We put her blanket and a few toys in there and she was like a pig in poop! You can't quite tell from the photo, but she was dancing to the theme song from Family Guy. Pearl likes to boogie. I then futzed around with the camera settings and got this picture of miss thing. It's a strange exposure, but I like it.



We leave you with a poor quality photo of the Queen of the Links. Pearl donned her royal jewels and strutted her stuff, at least until she got all tangled up and begged Mimsy to rescue her. Poor monkey!

you're doing better then we are! Levi's pulled our little tree down 2x now. I miss a big fresh lovely tree but after the great tree felling 2 years ago, I dont know that I could stomach a large tree until we devise some kind of containment system for it
