For the past couple years the Hubby and I have celebrate Christmas on our own before going to see family. Usually it's on the 23rd. Well, this year we took two days. On the 22nd we decided to open our presents to each other and our presents for Moses. We also opened the items in our stockings. Then on the 23rd we decided to go out for our Xmas dinner together.

When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out.
