Outside
Ok, as promised....a few pics of outside. Of course, DH thinks it is too bare! After all, there are EMPTY spots in the yard...lol!
He usually gets at least one new "toy" to add to the collection every year.
The new one this year is the teeter-totter.
It's funny...all our kids tease us and make fun of us (in a nice way, of course), but I know beyond the shadow of a doubt.....if we missed a year they would all be sooo disappointed...lol! My daughter in Texas says the highlight of their trip every year is driving up in front of the house after dark!
We had a wonderful holiday weekend. The decorating, of course, then Friday we headed down to Mel & B's for the rest of the weekend. We had the best meal.....oh, my goodness! They always do a non-traditional type of meal and this time it was Mediterranean! Mousaka, dolmas, marinated pear salad.....yummmmm! The kiddies had a blast playing outside and the grown ups all ate too much...lol.
We went down in the motor home so we could take the dogs so we hung out with everyone during the day then spent the nights in our little home away from home.
Worked out pretty good!
We headed home Sunday morning and battled those 40 mph winds all the way back. It was a little like a roller coaster ride with those winds buffeting that rv around!
Now back home and getting ready for the rest of the holiday season.
Being a blended family there have been years that we have had someone here for Christmas every weekend in December! This year not so. Only one of the families that live out of Oklahoma are going to be able to make it this year. All the shopping is done, just need to get some of it in the mail and starting the baking/cooking!

Your house makes mine look dull. I use to decorate that way but haven't in years. Btw, that's a beautiful backyard with the pool!!
