Updates, Finally!

I've not really posted anything in the last year.  Not sure why.  Maybe because I've been busy, or that fact that life got in the way.  But most likely because I was lazy.  So I've decided to post pictures of the happenings from last year to get caught up.  I know it is cheating, but it gets really hard looking at pictures and trying to write a post about it from over a year ago.  I'll start from Christmas and work up through this year.  Then I promise to be up-to-date moving forward.  So without further adieu.

Airlie Lights

We went to see Airlie Lights at Airlie Gardens last night.  Airlie Gardens is a garden that consists of all southern plant life and even has a 467 year old oak tree.  Each Christmas they decorate the gardens with themes of Christmas lights.  They also seem to include some type of lego set.  I believe that it broke some type of record.  We had fun and the weather really wasn't that bad.

Another Rooster

I realized that I haven't done an update on the chicken situation in a while.  Well, we ended up with another rooster.  Our little Annie is now called Andy.  Once we found out that we had another rooster we didn't know what to do.  We went back and forth about keeping him or getting rid of him.  In the end, we decided to give Andy back to his original owner.  All seems to be well and our girls are much quieter, as well as our mornings.

Christmas Tree and decorations

We ended up getting our Christmas Tree really early this year.  We thought we were just going to look at the tree lots the Saturday after Thanksgiving, to get a sense of prices this year.  In the end, we ended up getting a tree and a wreath at the last place.  It was too good of a deal to pass up.

Since we got the tree really early, it took us a couple of weeks to get the house fully decorated.  Brian did get the lights up but I think next year we are going to try and find warm led icicle lights.
