Meet the Grizwolds - Kuberski Style

First here are 4 out of 5 inflatables. I forgot to take a picture of the Santa. Penguin is in the back yard. Moose and Globe are in the front on the garage side. Santa is in the front, sun room side and scooby is in the side yard, sun room side.

And then here's the rest. Top picture is the front yard from the garage to the side yard. It's hard to tell but all the lights form a pathway from one sidewalk to the other (we are a corner lot) with lighted arches at both ends. Then there are some plastic figures, a train and a bunch more lighted things along it. Our neighborhood kids are loving being able to walk through it. So cute. The next picture down is the back yard with 3 trees, penguin and mama and baby bear. Mama bear is also pictured top right. To the right of that picture is one of the snowmen that run along the garage, which is pictured directly below him. The picture to the left of that is again the front of the house, along the lighted path with a picture of the train that's along side it. Behind you can see the inflatable santa and the edge of Scooby on the left hand side. Also the lights around the sun room and a few of the lighted candy canes by the front walk. Under that are the trees that go along side the garage. This pic is taken from the back yard looking toward the front. The Snow Globe and Mosse are in front of these. Then Finally are some of the small trees that are behind santa going towards scooby. What I didn't get pics of are the lights on the house, one the deck and the lighted rope latter that goes from up the deck, with characters on it so it looks like Santa and his elves climbing up.

Landscaping

And catching up on one other big event. We had our yard landscaped in September and it turned out so well.

The front:


The back and side:

Behind the garage:



Another view from the side:


Alongside the garage:


The Japanese Maple right outside the front door:


Some of the stuff you can't see from the pictures is that there are 4 red maples along the road between the curb and the sidewalk. And instead of doing wood chips we used a type of coral rock in most of the beds which really turned out nice. You can kind of see it in the pictures of the pine trees. The guys from Everett's did an amazing job and we can't wait to see what everything looks like in the spring!!

An Addition to our Family

Meet Teddy :

He's a 2.5 year old long haired orange tiger and he's a sweetheart. He came home at the beginning of October and hid under the bed in the spare bedroom most of the time. We introduced Callie on day 3 and while Teddy was interested in his new sister, Callie wanted nothing to do with Teddy. The next day while John was home, he left the bedroom door open and slowly Teddy began to venture out and Callie, would follow him around but wouldn't get too close, as shown here:

A few days later though we were to this point:

And it's been all good from that point on. They groom each other and rough house like crazy. They love to chase each other around the house and tackle each other. It's so funny to watch, even though I'm a bit paranoid they are going to hurt each other. We also find them curled up together in a few different places. They really are cute together and Teddy's been a great addition to our family.
