Christmas is HERE

Here's proof I decorated LOL.  LOVE it now that it's done.  I edited a lot last year - and some more this year.  If I don't use the stuff next year, I'll give it to Goodwill in December.  The trees have far fewer ornaments too.  But it works.  It looks like more in person.  It feels "cleaner" to me this year.

The tree is a bit crooked, but I didn't notice until it was decorated.
Oops.  We'll try to fix it today.

Family tree.

View from my kitchen table.

Funny story ... as hubby was getting out the Christmas containers, a garden snake slithered out.  Chloe grabbed it and did a death shake.  No more snake.  She didn't realize we have a catch and release program.  My dog stood there and looked beautiful.  Christmas adventures even with fake trees.

She may be little, but she be mighty.  Chloe the Snake "Charmer."

Tonight is outside lights.  Now that the landscaping is cleared out, we need to provide the neighbors with SOMETHING.  I ordered a few boxes of blanket lights and hope that it's as easy as it sounds.  Have I ever mentioned I like easy?!?!

Run was good yesterday, legs are toast.  Rest day today.  Kids are coming over for the afternoon game so I'm hitting the grocery store and kitchen today.  Hot Hawaiian sandwiches were requested (Pioneer Woman's recipe) and some kind of munchie.

No hike this morning as hubby and eldest have early golf.  Hope it's a good day for everyone.  Later gators.
