over the weekend: my husband the holiday decorating expert?

my mother in law's home during the holidays is beautiful. she has a lot of holiday decorations.  so many that she practically replaces all of her normal home decor with christmas decor.  because she is recovering from back surgery, she hadn't had the time to put up her christmas decorations this year yet.  so on sunday night that's what gordon and i did.  her house was prepped ready for us to arrive (thanks kim!).  and close to three hours laterwe were finished.  gordon brought in and took out millions of rubbermaid bins, each one filled with christmas decorations.  my favorite moment of the night was when we were down to the last four bins, gordon opened one of them up, then looked at leeann and me and said "this one is full of thanksgiving crap! this is the best thing to happen to me all day!"  needless to say he wasn't thrilled to be putting up all of his mom's christmas decorations, but by the end of the night he was a pro.  so much that leeann may just ask him to help every year!

we also brought the dogs.

 abbi is cute.
