UP earlier this morning to get chores done and then take a caramel cake to meet a customer. Hubbie rode with me to stop by Home Depot on the way home to pick up some rat poison. We try to keep poison out around our chicken houses since they are against the woods and always draw rodents from the woods. We came back home and I cleaned up all the pumpkins off the porches and fed them to the chickens. Then we started getting out the outside Christmas decorations. We got most all of it up with the good help of these two who came to help us and they kept saying it was going to be beautiful when the lights all come on !!
By the time we got lights on all the trees and got the other things set up the girls got hungry so we came inside to have a snack before we did chores. The cords and plug ins will have to be a project for another day and the girls were disappointed that they wouldn't see the lights tonight. We got evening chores done about the time daughter and EA came in. After the girls ate some more mac and cheese left overs they all left. Hubbie and I rested this evening after a busy day. I always wonder each year I go all out with putting up these decorations if it is worth the back and leg pain but then I look at the sparkle in these kids eyes (just like today) and know it is very well worth it for sure. I have got a good head start on the decorations this year !!
Thankful for the blessings of this day and for the Reason for this Season, Jesus Christ.

A very belated Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family. Hubby and I had our grandson over and then on Friday put up our small tree and all the decorations. My neighborhood looks very festive this year. Can't believe how fast your grandkids are growing.
