Deck the Hoyles

Time to Christmas up the place.

We spent most of the day fighting dead light bulbs in our "pre-lit" tree.

The life span of these trees is about 5 years. We have been having more and more dead bulbs with every passing year. This year was the worst...only half of the tree would light up. After nearly 5 hours of poking and prodding with various electrical gizmo's we gave up and cut off the lights with side cutters. Now I know why we are not allowed to have shot guns in the house.

We finally got a new set of lights strung.



We even decorated Jake.


And then, just for fun, we had a somersault contest.

It's only fun until someone breaks a neck. ;)
