    Not soon enough!!

    GW's parents will be here before lunch today ~ I think their plane lands at 11 ~ so while they take the kiddos out this afternoon, this thing is going outside!!

    (if they land sooner, it goes out sooner!!)

    I usually take it down before Lauren's bday (the 28th), but this year, I'm just so unmotivated. Probably New Year's Day.

    I'll probably keep ours up until New Years. Gabe has a 4 day weekend next weekend, so I can take it down without it being a major production with the children.

    We'll probably wait until after New Years. I like to look at the lights on New Year's Eve. I think it makes things more festive.

    I will have to leave ours up for a few more days since Mel's daughter and her hubby are here. I hope to take it down next Sunday and if that doesn't happen, then New Years Day for sure.

    I was thinking about putting the lights away today, so I might just put away everything else as well. I put mine up super early (2 weeks before thanksgiving) so it's getting a little old for me too

    Since I only decorated mine on Christmas Eve, I will probably leave it up until New Year's Day.
