My family totally cracks me up. We have an annual tradition of putting up the Christmas lights the day after Thanksgiving. This has evolved into a hilarious undertaking. The one-liners fly fast and furious. This year Pat came up with a goody. I was filming the fiasco and Pat was saying that we always put the most expendable child on the top of the ladder. He proceeded to announce that Kyle has been at the top of the ladder for several years now. Kyle nearly ended up at the bottom of the ladder because he was laughing so hard. Everyone has their assigned job and they all take them very seriously. Hunter is supposed to lay all the strands out and then stand around trying to look busy which he does very well. Logan tests the lights to see if they work and then Dad hands them up to Kyle to put on the house. Tanner does a great job of blustering about and seeming important while essentially doing nothing and Brandon doesn't even pretend to do nothing, he just does it. This year he didn't even come outside to watch. Me and Savannah hang the lights on the fence and this year Michelle helped us. We were done in record time (girls). Tanner and Alana didn't get to come down this year and we missed them. I love this tradition and hope it lives on for many years to come.
