All the decorations made their appearance a little on the early side this year. Mike couldn't find the tree lights so he pulled everything out of the shed looking for them. It's hard to tell a four year old who hasn't seen her sparkly pink tree in a year that now that it's out of storage we have to put it away again. That just won't fly. We had to replace the lights on her tree because they were stored with the batteries still in, but Dad found her a sting of purple only mini lights. Pretty snazzy.
After her tree was decorated I dug out the pieces to her Christmas village and we set them up next to it. She built that sleigh at a Lowes workshop last year. Did you notice the my little ponies pulling the sleigh? So Riley! Isaac put up a his little green tree and his multicolored lights were still working. I even found him a green tree skirt that I decorated with gold glitter snow flakes.
We got in the mood with Christmas music and some festive head gear. Most of the inside stuff has a set spot so my job was pretty easy.
Mike put up my winter pond scene with a little help from Riley. All our friends returned even my peacock. Although, the tail lights er...lights on the tail feathers gave us trouble for a few days. I observed a handful of times how much more I was seeing that peacock sell for (more than double what I paid). I started joking that maybe I got a deal because ours was for one time use. In the end Mike got it straightened out. Our mom and baby deer were joined by an animated daddy deer. He drinks from the pond. We had to expand the pond this year actually. Our collection of animals grew I suppose.
Ta-da!
