I took a few pictures around the house last week and thought I'd share them here. Nothing fancy, but I enjoyed decorating. (I am the world's worst photographer!) We aren't having Christmas at our house this year, so we only put up the top of our 9 ft. tree!

Our daughter and son-in-law went out of town this past weekend so we moved over to their house and stayed with our oldest grands and the grandpuppies and grandkitties. As much as I miss these 3 being little, they are wonderful to be with as teens and pre-teen. Our girls are 17 and almost 15 and they were a joy. They helped out, spent time just talking to us and it was wonderful to see them going places together and laughing and giggling as only sisters can. Our boy who is 11 was poorly with an ear infection and cough, but still wanted to hang out with us and watch Christmas movies. He also wanted to help out when he felt like it.
They are having an outdoor kitchen and covered porch extension built in their backyard, so it was pretty noisy, but it seemed to bother the dogs more than anyone else. I was impressed that the workers showed up every morning, worked all day and cleaned up every evening before they left. I know of a lot of people who have a lot of trouble getting people to show up to work. It's going to be really nice when it is finished.
It was a good weekend!
The weather this year has been more than a little weird this year what with 3 months of drought and triple digit temperatures this summer. It seems to have set everything back a few weeks! I know it's technically still autumn, even though it's December. Our oak trees seem firmly convinced that it's still early November. It's beautiful, but a little odd for this time of year. Still, it's gorgeous and we're enjoying it. Hey, Red and Green are Christmas colors, right?
