We are getting our Christmas tree this weekend and the children are eagerly awaiting the day. In the meantime, I thought it would be festive & fun to have them help me decorate the front porch for the first time ever, with pretty lights. I had to run errands anyway so the eight of us got ready and went out this morning. We had plans to get lights and a lighted deer figure for the front of the house.
However, as we browsed excitedly around the Christmas aisle in the store, the children spotted something even better than a deer.
Honestly, is this a great find or what?
I have had a thing for pigs for years now, I think they are cute. I could not believe there was a PIG lawn ornament (of all things) on sale, for Christmas. He’s perfect for me and I’ll smile whenever I see it. We strung lights on the front porch and in a few in the bushes in front, and carefully placed Mr. Pig in a noticeable spot. He’s standing guard and helping us celebrate this most wonderful time of year.
Good to be Home 
MUCH more fun than a plain ole deer, and probably the only one in your neighborhood (or county!) Who’s to say there wasn’t a pig near the manger????
That is so funny!!! It is making me chuckle, and my baby belly is bouncing while I do!
Love, love the pig!
What a cute piggie and he IS perfect for you! We are getting our tree on Friday and looking forward to picking it out and decorating it. I just love to think that, there you are, on the other side of the country making sweet memories with your family while I do my best to make sweet memories over here with mine. Love you sweet friend!
What a cute pig!! I have never seen one of them either. Your lights are beautiful.
I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT AND MAILED IT TO YOU!!!!! Seriously I would have thought of you right away!!!The only thing that is missing from the picture are a few chickens standing around by the pig!

I love it! Have you named him? I’m behind on blog reading/commenting but enjoyed viewing your latest pictures on here. The children are all so lovely, and Ethan and Jacob are really growing up. I think Jacob favors Rich, while Ethan looks like you! Have a blessed week!
