Light it up

We returned from our annual Salishan trip last night. We had a blast, the 2nd annual Tokola 5K, magic games in the bar, room service, losing money at poker, a great way to start off the holiday season. More on this in a future post.

Back on the home front Sarah and I spent Tuesday getting the house ready for the holiday season. A few trips in the attic to retrieve our decoration boxes got us rolling, the low ceiling clearance also got me a sore back. Now that we were all set, Sarah had the indoor decorations. Max and Gwen had Kung Foo Panda playing on the TV. I was the lucky one outside in the rain testing the strands of lights, and replacing burnt out bulbs. About two viewings of Kung Foo Panda later the house was trimmed with lights, the fence had icicle stands spread across, and our two Japanese maples were wearing our new addition of LED globes hanging on their branches. Topping it off is our penguin Noel sign lighting up the deck.


Please understand the magnitude of this, the house is decorated and it is not even December yet!! Come on folks that is a big deal. Usually we are not at this point until mid-December, and under some sort of death threat from Sarah. I do believe this is a speed record, and the first house decorated among the Kanick clan household. That's right George, I beat ya this year=p
