It's Christmas Light Time

It's time for Christmas Lights at the Brown House. Actually, it's about a week later than we usually put them up, but the weather has been too uncooperative until today. It's beautiful outside!

I was summoned outside earlier to take a photo of the action, but what I found was Collin doing a yoga pose over the front door! (see picture below) I was mortified at the danger, but then I chuckled. Figured I might as well take a picture before I yell at him to stop! Tonight we're heading to Carolyn and Craig's apartment in Downtown Dallas. A friendly match of Mexican Train has been suggested. Also, the Dallas Mavs play tonight on cable, and since we don't have cable at home... Craig's place will be perfect. It's within walking distance of the AAC - a shame we aren't going to the game in person.

Our dear mother has agreed to provide the chicken spaghetti for dinner tonight - even though the parentals are not actually attending the party. See our pseudo-invitation to her below:

Dearest Mother... It would be our pleasure to request the presence of your "love" to dine with your descendents on the evening of the 6th, and in the 12th month of the year of our Lord 2008. Your love may be manifested in the most superlative of ways... namely, grub. We offer you the choice of expressions, reminding thee of such necessary transportation in the delivery. The favour of your reply is requested.

Sweet of her to send dinner, don't you think?
