More Outside Lights

I spent most of my day working on the outside lights for the house while Josie worked her first day back from the Thanksgiving holiday. The lights are about completed for the outside - there are just a couple more bushes to be decorated and that should finish up that task. This is a shot of the current status:

It's looking pretty good. Tonight, we will take a final shot.

I only had a couple hours to watch some of the key football games on TV in the late afternoon. There were some very good games and a few key rivalries that are always fun to watch, regardless of their significance in the national rankings. We get to enjoy the Conference championships now, and watch for all the Bowl match-ups. The only one we are anxious to hear about is the WMU Bowl that Austin will attend. We'll soon know.

Our goal today - aside from watching the Cardinals and Seahawks games - is to finish up the outside lights and to decorate our tree. Josie will continue to decorate the inside and will probably go right up to Christmas Day before finishing all that activity. Then, we get to take it all down again for another year. It is fun to do though, and really helps to get into the true Christmas spirit...
