december daily {12.3.11}

The third day of December was all about getting the holiday decorating done! Dale and Aiden started with the outdoor lights in the morning. The past few years have been a struggle with these new fangled led lights. We just don't like them the same as the old school incandescent. We also let Amelia choose the multi colored lights instead of our usual plain and classic clear. I though marriage was about compromise but apparently raising children requires even more.
 Our holiday decorating was interrupted by Aiden's first basketball game of the season. This is the first year they keep score on the scoreboard and the Blue Lasers (wearing the brown shirts {long story}) and Aiden's team won with a final score 34-4!

The Christmas tree went up the a lot less struggle than last year. The kids did an excellent job putting the ornaments on the tree and I believe it will take less tweaking than years previous to put the finishing touches(arrangements) on the tree.
