christmas time is near

it's starting to look more like christmas around here.
this weekend john took on the brave task of decorating the outside of the house.
a trip to lowe's and one big extension pole later, this is what we ended up with.



not too bad, huh?

remember our pumpkin carving party?
it's a shame to throw away all of those awesome pumpkins.
plus, times are tough. we have to get creative.
so we made this (or should i say, we made him):


he has a grand spot on our front porch so he can say hello to all our visitors (you know, the mail man, uncle jay and the neighbor's cat).

still lots more to do and not too much time left to do it.
josh reminded me just tonight, only 17 days until the big day!

Dad wants to know where you got the idea for the pumpkin snowman? He thinks you should call Martha with this idea! Love Nana
