It's begining to look like Christmas

Well, we started decorating the house this week. If we weren't leaving for Texas we would have waited until the weekend before Christmas (we leave the decorations up until January 11/12 which is the end of the Christmas season), but since we won't be here we started a little early. Here are some basic photos, once the house is finished I'll post more.

Here is Paul messing with the tree. Last year we just put it in the attic and didn't take it apart. When we were bringing it downstairs this weekend, Paul slipped and "broke the tree's neck", but luckily he is handy and was able to fix it!


Awh, nothing says Christmas like the lights in a tangled heap on the floor.

Ok, so I have this fancy garland that we put up on the cabinets each year. Evidenlty Paul didn't feel he needed the step stool.

Inky is enjoying her time with fake garland......

All the cats are enjoying the feeling of the outdoors, eventhough it is fake.
