Daddy's Back

In the years past, my dad would go crazy on outside Christmas stuff. It was awesome. He lived around the corner from Nate & I. We would all go down to dad's & he would turn the lights on just like they do in the movie Christmas Vacation. One year, his whole roof was a humongous peace sign. It was amazing!

Sadly, dad's huge train was stolen out of his yard. Then, his crazy ex wife turned crazier (she'll probably take me to court for saying that), and dad's love of Christmas crazy lights & decorations started to fade. Sniff, sniff. BUT....DADDY'S BACK! In the words of Jefferson Airplane, "Nothin's gonna stop me now!" He called me on Tuesday & wanted to know if the kids & I wanted to come to he & Rhonda's (the not so crazy new wife) house to see the lights since we wouldn't be there on Thanksgiving for the big reveal. Heck yes we wanted to go!

Check out that Santa!

Gotta incorporate a peace sign!

Now comes the creepy part....talking & hip shaking Santa. As soon as we walked in the house, this thing was standing there. I said, "No offense, but that Santa is creepy." Dad & Rhonda agreed & had apparently been trying to pawn him off on one of us kids. Apparently my step sisters did not want him & neither did Ash or Lee. Rhonda said I was there their last hope. I think they were slightly disappointed when hip shaking Santa did not leave with me. I did, however, contemplate on taking him home & putting him on the front porch for Nate to see when he got home from band practice. I was going to try & hide outside & push the button as soon as he walked up. MERRY CHRISTMAS, NATE! Now go change your pants.

Jasper had several looks on his face while he watched scary Santa. He wasn't sure what to think. But I do know that none of them wanted to take him home with us.
