Every year Gramma and Papa have the best best and most lights on the whole street....but Papa hasn't been able to put them up himself the past year or so. So, Mom & Dad usually end up putting most of them up for him. This year, we all deployed over there on Friday to help out. It turned out to be a lot of fun, and a lot of funny! Papa still loves to dictate what goes where and exactly how things should look and doesn't mind telling you when it is wrong. He was giving instructions to Dad & Brent up on the roof...making sure each light is facing the correct way...not string of lights, but each individual light. The "system" is pretty amazing though. I see where the OCD DNA trait started, Haha! It really was fun though, and I think Papa really appreciated having everyone there....even though I know it really wore him out!
Nana a little worried about her Dad and Grandpa on the roof.
Put Avery to work picking up leaves & putting them in the bucket. Except, when she got a few in there, she liked to dump them back out. Hmmmm, is this how she cleans at home??
Making sure the lights are facing the right way....
Assistance from the ground crew...and Papa close by to supervise
Better view to tell people what to do from the chair :)
We had laid out ornaments that hang on the light strings that go from the tree to the house. Avery thought they were all balls, and kept picking them up and walking away with them. Really messed up our color coordination! Oh well!
