Just after Thanksgiving, we put up our tree and some decorations. We also got out elf on the shelf out, which we began last year. I remember Lucas named him, "Gravy" :) They have been into finding his new spot each morning, and he even left a note for Olivia this morning since she was annoying Lucas all night when he was trying to sleep. Sometimes I think we should follow through with our threats not to give her any presents because she is sooo freaking defiant...
Then over the next few days I put up some lights on the outside of the house. We didn't want to have to use the ladder on our roof, so I just wrapped lights around both porch railings.
Our little tree on the porch
We took a short walk around the neighborhood to see other houses---there were some really pretty ones but we didnt go too far because I had tripped when stepping off the sidewalk (rolled my ankle) and I was holding Frankie in the jeep body carrier thing...thankfully my hands caught my fall and not Frankie.
And here is our house--these pictures don't show the red and white cords of lights upstairs very well, so it looks cooler in person :) I'll probably take some pictures from the balcony soon.
