Allie helped about 30 minutes (in exchange for lunch 
) but David and I spent the better part of the afternoon to complete it! YAY! The LAST thing I want to do this evening is put away more decorations but have to stay on schedule so now on the the middle yard. 
For the first time in years, we cleared ALL the decorations from the garage side of our yard in ONE day!
Yes Ma'am, this is from the MK.
Iāll start with Carousel of Progress?
Youāve had a busy day. I donāt like putting Christmas decorations away.
,) they can wait, just spiral trees, yard ornaments, lighted gifts, snowmen, etc. Not touching the indoor ones yet; going to enjoy them after we return. Once I get started I'm okay but just doing "that first thing" 
!
It was SO hard to get started especially since we normally leave them up until after January 6th but David wanted as much down as possible before our trip. Not attempting to get lights down (but David did get the lights out of the trees on that side of the house today
No Ma'am, not Carousel of Progress.
Do you go back to school tomorrow or have a few more days? Our kiddos have the full week off yet; Jr. High is moving into a new school and they allotted time for the move so extended Christmas break for them!
No Ma'am, it's not from a ride.
Meet and greet or parade?
I have to go back tomorrow
Goes to fast, doesn't it?
Oh POOH! I'm sorry.
This is from a parade.
Back to normal but keeping the Christmas theme here for a few more crops...an easy one for Monday ...where is this Daisy Meet and Greet:
Yes Ma'am, this is in a park but not Epcot.
She's somewhere in HS; tell me where.
She's somewhere in HS; tell me where.
; you have had a rough ... and VERY stressful ... December! I'm so sorry. I think I might have to visit where your Dad lived ; Texas with mountains sound perfect for us. We DO have the Davis Mountains and Big Bend on our western border. As I understand, Big Bend especially, is positively beautiful but it's a LONG drive from our section of the State and way to many rattlesnakes and cacti for me to want to visit! I'm so glad you went to visit your Dad for a few days before his passing. It may have been a hard trip but it's "good for your soul"...and his...to have a little time together. As for your Mom...WOW...that was unexpected too! Two months ago, one of my friends (visiting family in Pennsylvania) had a stroke and her recovery has been rough. Her clot was in the brain so surgery was immediate. She's finally back in Texas though and enjoyed holiday festivities. A lot of work ahead for Mom; Lisa's speech was slow to return too but PT worked wonders on her and I know your Mom will work hard on that too. Keep us posted on her impending surgery and keep enjoying those growing kiddos! Been enjoying your "holiday visits" to various displays in Canada! DVC takes time, especially over the Holidays when all "work" slows down but you'll get that trip booked soon. After our visit next week we'll be homebodies for awhile. Allie graduates this May so we'll travel back to Florida for a week to 10 days then. Would love to go to Flower and Garden Festival again; want to travel down to West Palm Beach for a visit with Ed and Toni and Allie's wanted to take us up to San Augustine for ages! Hope you get a chance to book soon; you need to try to visit during the Halloween celebration since you're such a "Halloween nut"! Hugs to you and your family and best of luck to your Mom on her surgery.
