I don't know what this is about. But Chloe looks mighty miffed!

Somehow, Christmas almost got by me. I meant to have the tree and house decorations up early. Especially as this was Fox's first Christmas. But it turned out it was just a week before Christmas that I got the decorations out of the gargage and into the house.

Here Chloe (re)discovers Homer. She is THE biggest Simpson's fan (after Barry, of course). She wouldn't leave this dancing Homer alone.

It was a couple nights before Christmas. I wanted to go walk around the neighborhood and look at lights as a family. So I got the kids all dressed and ready to go becuase I had decided that the 21 was THE night. Funny thing. I took my camera with me because I intended to do a scathing post about how tacky our neighbors are. Trust me, there were some pretty silly yards. Now mind you our house lots are only and average of 50 feet across. Yeah, it's Florida and lots are mighty small.
Anyway, we're walking and house after house is trying to outdo the next one by cramming as much stuff into the space as possible.
But Chloe kept saying "ooooohhhh pretty lights". And it melted my Grinchy heart.

Speaking of, this was the first year Chloe watched the classic "the Grinch who Stole Christmas". She loved it. I can't remember how many times we watched it. Only she calls it 'Nahoo Doray'--becuase of the songs the Who's sing.
