I still have to take down the outside lights...

With that much snow, you probably wanna wait a bit for those outside lights!

I normally get up early on New Year's Day and start taking down our outside lights and decorations while Mrs. Pianoman packs away all the inside stuff. The rest of the day I sit and watch bowl games!

I'm doing it tomorrow after church this year, because it's supposed to be below freezing on New Year's Day! brrrrrrrrr

We take our Christmas lights down---at spring break!

Only because the neighbours start making fun of us!

Persecution, bound to come!

Kind of funny, I haven't decorated for Christmas in a few years. We usually wind up spending most of our time at my parents over the holidays so it has seemed kind of pointless.

So anyway, on Christmas day it was just my parents and my daughter and I, so we went to dinner at a nice restaurant. Afterwards, my daughter and I went to Starbucks and by our house to change into comfy clothes before we went back over to my parents to hang out.

By the time we got to my parents house, my parents had their tree completey undecorated, and most of decorations out in the garage already!! I was like, "well, I guess Christmas is over"!
