Xmas Lights!

On Sunday.. Emma and I headed off early to help the parentals put up some Xmas Lights.. not a huge amount.. just enough to make the place look christmassey..

..ya know..

So there we are.. just finished getting the first load of lights untangled.. coz its a given.. no matter how you do it.. every year they are gonna be tangled when you take them outta the box.. so yeah there we are.. lights in hand trying to work out how to get them over the tree..

*lightbulb* I say that we should toss them over.. coz that seems like the best option coz Emma and I are both not giants.. as you well know.. I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to be a giant.. anyways so there we are.. lights in hands.. in position and about to start the countdown.. then just like an olympic swimmer.. Emma does a false start!

We collect ourselves and once again.. lights in hand.. in position and now starting the countdown...
Three...
..............Two...
.........................One...
...................................and we toss.. only Emma tosses so hard and totally lets go of ALL the lights and the lights go for a little trip right OVER the tree! HAHAHAHA it was great! So funny!

After that we took a different approach with the help of Emma's dad and soon enough the lights were on the tree and all was well in the world and we could move onto the other sections we needed to get done.. which we did and then sat down and enjoyed the best glass of milk and nibbled on some gingerbread!
