Our Sleeping and Standing Santa

Never in a million years did I think I would be the homeowner that puts blow-up holiday decorations in my yard. Well, I guess I just need to consider that one of the many surprises and sacrifices of parenthood.

We won this giant snowman at a holiday party a few years back. I thought it would set on the shelf until we finally decided to get rid of it of it. We had talked about setting it up in a friend or family member's yard as a joke, but that never happened. Several of you reading this can be thankful of that.

As you can see our now two and a half year old thinks the snowman is the coolest decoration ever. He loves watching it "stand up" and he runs round and round to give it a high five. When it's not lit up and blown up he tells us the snowman is sleeping.

It is on the side of our house (thank goodness!), so really only part of the neighborhood is forced to enjoy it - sorry guys!
