Peak Performance

The Clark W. Griswald award goes to Alan. He decided it would be a good idea to get the Christmas lights up before the weather got much worse. The thought of hanging Christmas lights in a snow storm just screams "accident waiting to happen." Our roof has many steep peaks. It's almost hard to believe that this house was roofed just under a year ago, in a blizzard none the less.


Thomas offers support from the bottom rung of the ladder. He would have happily climbed higher if his parents would have let him.


Thomas survived his first night away from mom and dad on Friday. He stayed the night with our good friends Beth and Troy. They are the parents of his best bud, Jack. We went to Holland to watch the South Haven Rams varsity football team play in the regional tournament against Holland Christian. We were ahead at half-time 19-18, but they came back with a vengeance. Sadly, we lost 25-60.
Alan's lit house. I told him that he isn't actually allowed to keep the house lit until after Thanksgiving. We'll see what happens...

I love it! He has a point...it's ok to put them up before Thanksgiving as long as you don't light them! Looks great...maybe you could send some of that Christmas cheer my way, I'm known as "The Grinch" at work:) Keep the posts coming, I love to see what's going on in your world:) Sarah
