Christmas Lights...











Yesterday, our washing machine broke for the last time! Since Keith and I have been married, we've always had used washer and dryers. Keith is so handy, that whenever they break, he just gets a part and fixes them. This time the motor died in the washer. Our dryer has to run twice to get the clothes dry. We decided it was time to bite the bullet and buy a new washer and dryer. 

The girls were patient as we went from store to store today to compare deals. We finally settled on a floor model at Best Buy because it was 1/2 off. It was one of the top of the line washer and dryers, but because it was 1/2 off, it was one of least expensive sets we found all day! They even gave us the pedestals for them, so you don't have to bend over so far. Anyway, we are excited! They can't deliver them for a week though. Thankfully, our neighbors, Amy and Matt, are taking their kids to Disney World for Christmas and gave us the key so we could do our laundry at their house all week. We were surprised to find out that they had the exact ones we had just bought! Amy said she absolutely loves them!

So today, after dragging the kids all over town to find a washer and dryer on their Christmas Break, we ended the day by taking them out for pizza at Foxes Den and then let them do their annual tour of Christmas Lights. Every year it gets bigger. Tonight, cars were lined up parked on both sides of the street and kids were running around everywhere. The kids saw several of their friends from school there! Then we come home and sat by the fire, ate ice cream and watched a Christmas movie!
