Tim's Christmas Village

Tim's Christmas Village was a two day thing this year...but yes I forgot to take pictures of the cutting of the board....The Third, Tatem and Caleb helped a little with this but Caleb didn't like the sound of the saw.... Then I forgot to take pictures of the placing of the boards... or even the start of the Village...Tim's first thing on was the light house he wanted it up high so it could be seen by all. It is right behind the steamboat ;o) He now has the top to layers done still lots to go! Fun, Fun, Fun ;o)

Didn't I say lots to go...Look at all those boxes...if you look in the back ground there is still some on the table in the dinning room ;O0

Working on getting all the plugs in the right spot...so you only have to flip one or two switches!!!

"Why did I ever start this crazy thing?" Ha,ha,ha!! Actual he is taking a little break to talk to TJ on the phone ;o)

Getting Closer...but notice it is now dark outside...this is taking a while...not that Tim is a perfectionist....Ha,ha,ha!!!

Almost there!!! Just a few more things!!!

Finally done!! It only took eight hours. Doesn't it look great!!! Yes it takes up a lot of the living room ....but it is only for a short time and it is awesome.

I was trying to post a video of it so you can see and hear all the wonderful sounds and lights but I guess I'm not that good yet! Probably never will be ;o)

So many things....

Ok it has been busy since Thanksgiving....First we had Family Pictures...Don't we look great!!
(this isn't the one I wanted to use but I can't get it to delete so I guess I have to go with it!)
Then we had The Third's birthday!!! He turned 6!! Crazy...not sure where the all kids picture went so once again not the picture I wanted but it still is a good one!! Happy Birthday the Third!

Next was Ethan's birthday!!! He turned 5!! Wow they are getting old!! Now this is the right picture finally but not sure how TJ and Hollie got in on the picture ;o) I guess they are the next oldest after these 4. Happy Birthday Ethan!!

Then it was Hollies birthday!!! She turned....Ha,ha,ha,!! I won't tell but I don't think she would mind if I did anyway!!! Happy Birthday Hollie!!!

Which brings us to today...which is Hollies birthday and a snowy day!!! The "girls" had a blast playing out in the snow...I just had to get their picture with their cute little noses!!! Took me at least 5 tries...because they couldn't stop long enough they just had fun running and playing in the snow!! Too fun!

Merry Christmas all!!! It is almost here...Take a moment to think of a Few of your own Favorite things and the real reason for the season ;o)
