The Christmas display prep for this year has begun!
On Saturday Kyle got everything he needed to dig a hole and pour concrete in order to make our "mega-tree" stand bigger and taller this year.
Yes Peeps, that would be a 33 foot street light pole that has been laying in my back yard for months and months just waiting for it's transformation. {Last years was 28 feet and the year before was somewhere around there, too.}

| When the light pole was first brought home...right after Christmas last year...you can still see the display is up. |
 |
| Deep, deep hole! This thing isn't going anywhere!! |
 |
| Mixing... |
 |
| And pouring concrete. |
 |
| The bolts to keep the light pole in place. |
 |
| Setting the bolts into the concrete and making sure it's all level. |
This was Kyle's project for the whole day on Saturday.
Sunday, we got our first snow but it didn't stick. However, I went out to go to the store and people were driving like there was a foot of snow. The roads were clear as could be!
However, today it's been snowing on and off all day. It stopped for a little bit this afternoon and melted and then a couple of hours ago it started up again. There's not much there yet, but let me tell you, there have been a TON of accidents today! I'm so thankful that I have brand new tires because otherwise I'd be slipping and sliding with the rest of them! I did pretty good out there though. I slid a little bit but not too bad. I just REALLY hope that it's all gone by Monday because I have to drive to Seattle all week. The snow will just make that nearly impossible.
I don't like the stuff hanging out around my house, but I do have to admit that it's pretty and makes things seem a lot more peaceful.
{Tomorrow it's going to be an ice rink out there though! Yikes!}
While looking through some posts from last year, I found this one about my sister's Christmas present. I made her a video of the boys. If you'd like to check out my labor of love, you can do so here. =)
What's your Monday been like today? Anything thrilling or exciting in your world?
