getting caught up

OK, Here it is the 20th of January and I have not gotten out of November and Ghana, so Goodbye Africa and Hello Christmas. Christmas this year was a little tough. Just like my blog I was definitely still in a Ghanaian state of mind and buying gifts for people who really don't need anything was dificult. A lot of charitable donations were made this year in people's honor rather than handing them a scarf or new pair of socks and underware. Decorating the tree was a family event as you can see below, I the one behind the camera so you know I was there. The big discussion is icicles or no icicles- Jay is a tinsel man whlie the rest of us are not. Secretly I was glad he could find no tinsel on his shopping trip but later found and bought 5 boxes of them that he never runs out of the stuff. If some tinsel on the tree makes this man happy so be it, I don't mind vacuuming it up for the next 3 months ;)


Jay makes sure the lights are evenly spaced on the tree.


Kyle is happy that this line of lights was working... we definitely need to go out next year and get some more lights. We prefer the old fashioned big bulbs and we have more that don't work now than ones that do.


Shelby makes like a reindeer, or maybe it was a moose.
