Were Rich

I put my pictures in the wrong order and we all know how much fun it is to move pictures around in blogger (its not :)

Anyway...

We actually got our Christmas tree put up this year. So our family room looks like Christmas threw up in the corner. I am glad that we ended up putting it up. There's something thats so special when you come home to a house warmed by little white Christmas lights. I bought two automatic timers so every night at 6 the Christmas lights come on and go off right at 10 for bedtime. We watched A Christmas Story and Elf while decorating. Chloe was plum tuckered out after doing so much of nothing.

I was a little lazier this year and didn't put up my other tree, but now I'm just spoiled by this tree. The other one is really pretty when its put up, but you have to fluff out each individual branch and put each individual branch in its color coded location. Then wrap the whole tree in lights. I tend to go over board with lights and I think there is about 15 strands I bought for that tree. My new tree comes in 3 chunks (chunks is such a grody word, don't you think) the whole thing is pre-lit and and all the branches fold down in levels and they stay pretty much fluffed. So this year we will just honor the other tree with a picture from a previous year :)

Were Rich

Well Monopoly money rich.

We did a little Christmas shopping last Saturday and Dillards had a deal that if you bought something in their make-up/perfume counter area you could be in the money tent. Anthony hopped in. They told him that whatever stuck on his clothes is fair game and whatever he caught and shoved in his pockets. They gave him the thumbs up and he very calmly looking he started grabbing at the money that swirled around him

see thumbs up

We ended up with 160 paper $1 bills. The red table in the side of these pictures was the prize table. We got a bunch of boxes of samples, yipee! At least the boxes they were in will be nice to wrap presents in. She also threw in a Nautica bag, that will be great for vacations. Then Anthony got a can of tennis balls that stunk so bad when he popped the lid open :(

After this little adventure we we went and saw the movie Tangled. It was really cute! I recommend it. If you haven't seen it yet, don't read on, because it will ruin the movie for you.

I'm really curious so when he chops her hair at the end of the movie is she now stuck with that ugly little choppy bob? When the bad lady at the first of the movie cut her hair that little brown piece stayed short, so I'm thinking she is now stuck with it, since obviously that one piece never grew like the rest of her hair.
