That is great JoAnn cannot wait to see the pics. Happy Belated Birthday.
A few years ago I started having a Christmas in July because our winters were so bad I could not get around to see all my friends. So around the end of July I put together a party.
I put the tree up and decorate the yard. I love those laser shower lights. All I have to do is stick it in the ground and the entire house is covered in lights and I put my Nutcrackers coming down the driveway and the outdoor decor is done. I have been wrapping gifts for a month now. I picked up a bunch of stuff at the after Christmas sales.
When you get old you realize you need to have as many parties as you can.
