First Outdoor Christmas Light Project of the Season + Digging & Potting Geraniums! 🎄😍🪴

[@karencrane6325]

Not gonna lie, the mom in me was thinking “Aaron you need to be careful. That’s too high. You get down!” Beautiful lights!

[@nashnash7997]

Um, you were thinking that regarding a grown man? You need a vacation and away from the kids for a few days lol

[@heatherw.2751]

It was giving me anxiety watching him lol! I’m not a mom but I am afraid of heights.

[@Deb2729-7]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@allisonnaeim9905]

I love the formal garden in front of the flower shed ❤

[@GrannyCompton]

Wow - just wow. That wrapping of a tree is a sign of steadfastness and true commitment. What a beautiful sight in the dark sky night.

[@dorothym1324]

Russell being all up in your business is too sweet ❤!

[@williamsfamily3939]

Paul and Bethany are stellar employees!

[@shawnworth3142]

Laura absolutely beautiful in your wedding picture and Aaron looks so young and handsome lol. Oh those were the days😂. I have been married to my beautiful wife for 33 years and would not change it for anything in the world. Best decision I ever made. There will always be trials and tribulations, but love alway always wins when you have true love for each other. Never ever ever forget that please and this coming from an old man who truly knows what he’s talking about. I love my wife more now than I ever did it grows beyond over the years. Well enough about that😂😂😂 the lights are absolutely awesome and I love watching your videos they bring me pure joy.

[@patticraven6610]

Aaron loved the drone footage as you came up on the tree it was spectacular!!! I loved the Quick look at the wedding picture of you both! Would LOVE to see a few more♥️ please!!! Love the floral wrapping, that looks so much more eye popping than the regular way most do!

[@jennifermcduffie6889]

Where’s the wedding pic? Must have missed it.

[@patticraven6610]

@ was just a Quick Look while they were stringing up the lights on the tree!!

[@eberlinschwinn5634]

Such a lovely perspective from a gentleman. Thanks for sharing.

[@shawnworth3142]

@ Thank you!

[@sandidobbs9888]

Ohhh just wow, the drone shot of the tree took my breath away. Great job Aaron. It looks spectacular!

[@buckeyejen1076]

Russell is excited that Aaron is climbing the tree! He’s like, hey, finally they are playing my game. 😂❤ My cats do the same thing when I wrap trees in the yard. 🐈

[@marmaladesunrise]

Aaron did a beautiful job on the tree. It is so symmetrically done. And Laura was such a good assistant. The wedding photo was beautiful. Them holding hands at the reception. What a pair! ❤❤❤

[@KittyMcGee1001]

Russell is a typical orange kitty. Super smart, affectionate, co-dependent and always looking for trouble. I have one and he’s just like this. Laura’s basically his mama and he clearly loves her so much.

[@verabauman3017]

So cute so see Russel playing peek-a-boo with Laura!

[@crazyflowerlady1060]

Thank-you for all the joy you both bring to so many people; it looks like the tree of life.

[@Sisteryoda1440]

Thought the same thing.

[@suebean4788]

What a magical place for those two kiddos to grow up in! Absolutely beautiful!

[@pambuehler6402]

Now, that is how a tree should be decorated with lights! Beautiful!

[@jamiehill3220]

Oh my goodness! The tree is magical and breathtaking! Great job Aaron! And in all-boy fashion (speaking from a boy mom perspective), you reveal the beautiful tree and he finds a stick! 😂 I love Benjamin’s imagination! Also, just when I thought that you guys couldn’t get any more adorable…you show a wedding picture! How precious were you guys?!? You are blessing to my mornings!

[@cynthiag3065]

I loved the wedding photo. Russell was so happy to play in the tree. Thank you for explaining the trimming, division, and propagation of the Geraniums. The Christmas lights look magical. I would love to see that tree out of my windows at night. In fact, I would turn that beautifully lit tree right now.😁 I love the night shots at the end, and Benjamin managed to find himself a sword.🗡️ 😂

[@kathleenwhite9741]

That tree looks AMAZING!!!! Well done Aaron!👍💕🎄

[@mariannelooney6998]

It's always so sweet to see Laura loving on Russell. Warms my heart.

[@anjabrunner5100]

Wie besonders uns einzigartig schön...Euer Grundstück wird das Weihnachtswunderland...Dankeschön...Jetzt wird es weihnachtlich❤

[@marestar64]

The tree looks glorious! Aaron is the master Christmas light engineer 🎄

[@buckeyejen1076]

Sweet Russell sleeping in the greenhouse after his big adventure hanging lights. ❤ He is a hard-working kitty.

[@nesandhiller5323]

Russell is the coolest cat. I just love him!! I can't wait to see all the lights this year. No doubt It will be gorgeous!! You are right, Laura, that tree is glorious after dark. We'll done Aaron!

[@TreeHugginT]

A good harness and buck strap for when you're up high will cost a lot less than your life. It just takes one thing man. Your kids love you and need you. You guys are so awesome to me. I don't want to see something happen to one of you especially when it's so preventable. Your kids are watching you and other kids are watching you too. Literally millions of people.

[@GardenKath]

This. I know they're "non-worriers" in general, but the lack of care on ladders is truly terrifying, for all of the reasons you listed. The tree is beautiful, but it's not worth the out-sized risk.

[@Beadinmomy]

I agree. Please, please be safe always.

[@eberlinschwinn5634]

Absolutely correct. Ladder and tree work are no joke. I know Aaron is comfortable on ladders from his previous job but it’s that overconfidence that leads to accidents. This coming from a safety lead at a big commercial contractor and air plane company. I love you guys and don’t want anything to happen.

[@barbb.9489]

Laura, I have to LOL at the difference with the trees and boxwoods. While I’ve adored your field of flowers 🌺 and color, I am loving the formality and tidy structure of the new garden. You’re so smart, what a wonderful decision! ❤😂❤

[@evelynbrooks8558]

Dear Lord! That’s glorious! Aron should be very proud of himself!

[@vickieyoung7122]

Wow ! Aaron did a fabulous job on those lights...and seeing Russell playing and excited for xmas decorating was just the best ! He has stolen my heart.

[@cherylstuckey4358]

Aaron thanks for the detailed explanation- please be careful. Love how Russell wants to be in the middle of everything-( although i know it can sometimes be a pain). He loves his humans. 🥰

[@kathleenpalmer845]

Beautiful Aaron!!! The drone footage really shows how much of a beacon the lit tree is. Love to watch Russel playing. Watching you plant from seed all your geraniums last winter prompted me to grow 48 geraniums (8 different colors) myself . I had them in seedling trays all over the house with grow lights on them. I ended up with 45 plants to use on my deck this past summer. I am now wintering over one of each color in my insulated but not heated garage and growing a set indoors as house plants. I will take them back out onto the deck next summer. I also brought two large pots indoors of three types of coleus, plus a couple Persian Shields. This will give me a great head-start on my deck plantings 2025. Only going to winter sow snap dragons in milk jugs this year as they grew vigorously and flowered prolifically for me. Thank you for all the inspiration!

[@SCR1977]

The Russell cam was much appreciated today. ❤️

[@rosemarysterner551]

The night shot of the tree is breathtakingly beautiful! Great job, Aaron! Love how Russell plays in the trees. And Douglas is feisty and sweet!

[@mireillewilson5911]

I love Russell so much ❤

[@annbailey311]

Just that one tree in that dark space is thrilling. Can’t wait to see the whole property. Take care Aaron.

[@KymKit]

That Tree is like a BECON OF HOPE 💕❤️

Can we have some more? Please

[@KittyMcGee1001]

They both look like movie stars. I want to see more!

[@heatherwoods5703]

Our town of Oconomowoc, WI wraps the trees that line the whole main street of the downtown shops during the holidays. It's so beautiful at night, especially late when there are few cars parked there and the street is a little wet, reflecting the lights. 😍😍 When I see the city workers in their bucket lifts, I get so excited. I'm also awed by how much work it is. 💗

[@Blueand4evergreen]

It is magical isn't it. ❤ Love seeing my hometown mentioned. 👍

[@chetcalhoun8713]

We have watched y'all daily for years and now we find y'all have the same anniversary date we do. The pics of your wedding were fantastic.

[@jacquip644]

I see that Foreman Russell is on lights management duty. Good job Russell! Douglas seems to be managing the grounds well too.😃 Can't wait to see all the lights completed. Be well guys!

[@karlalitakismet]

That wedding pic!!! ❤ Stunning reception and STUNNING couple!

[@paularyan8400]

#relationshipgoals 🥰 Laura and Aaron, watching the two of you interact is so refreshing and heartwarming. I start my day with coffee and Laura, because let’s face it, Laura’s the bomb. But when I watch you two together, my heart just sings. 🥰

[@wandabrown508]

Beautiful video of hardworking Aaron: the tree turned out gorgeous. My favorite was feisty Russell & Douglas, swiping at Laura. The geraniums will be lovely, blooming in their pots: so thrifty to save them from the cold.

[@lynkarpick8037]

Wow. It’s so magical! What a beautiful job. So impressed with the whole process. And the geraniums…..special for me as my grandmother always had geraniums potted indoors. If she noticed one of us didn’t get on the school bus in the morning over she came with a small bouquet of geraniums! Still a special memory. And her plants were beautiful!! Your pots looked gorgeous. The bullseye salmon was special! Thanks for sharing it all. Great to see Russel and Douglas! ❤❤❤

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Aaron is so much more talented than he gives himself credit for being. Putting lights on trees and branches so well isn’t easy. ❤️

[@CathySmithIdaho]

A beautiful winter accent to your already beautiful gardens. Such patience and persistence Aaron.

[@sheilalovesgreg3489]

LOVE RUSSELL!!! And look how pretty & handsome you two were, well, still are! 😍 AND the tree WOWZERS!!! 😊

[@bethskis]

As you said, Laura…GLORIOUS!!!

[@kayreive]

OMGoodness !!! It is so beautiful, immediate tears to my eyes and an audible gasp, I have never been more impressed and the shape of that gorgeous tree is perfection !! Way to go Erin and Laura, you never cease to make my day with your videos

[@cherylstuckey4358]

Gorgeous!! And Roxie really enjoyed Russell being in so much of this video 😂 Wow! So you started a bunch of these Geraniums from seed, then you dig them and save over winter and even separate some of them… and if you reuse pots. 😳. That is a lot of flowers for very little cost! 👍👍👍

[@catherinewoods9282]

What treat to see your wedding photo! Aaron looks sooo young without his beard. The tree is glorious! Thank you for the spectacular drone shots. I just love watching all the magic that the two of you Paul and Bethany create! Thanks for the inspiration 🥰

[@judithdomangue9995]

What a gorgeous bride and groom. I haven’t seen a cat play hide and seek before, so hilarious. 😂 The lighted tree is beautiful!

[@PK-bh1ww]

A couple that leaves together - stays together. A match made in Heaven. ❤ The tree looks wonderful! ( well worth the effort it took.) Like a beacon in the night.

[@TheresaHoughten-tb7oe]

Oh my gosh, the job that Aaron did on those lights on the tree are absolutely phenomenal. That’s the way tree should be wrapped. We can see all the little branches. I know you didn’t do them all, but it looks like you did. What a wonderful job absolutely magical.!

[@krisnyhan2212]

Aaron needs a bucket lift for installing lights. Much safer! The lights turned out gorgeous, as always!

[@doreer.8960]

So Magical!!! a fairy land for sure! Your kids are so lucky to have this!

[@BS-j1965]

Aaron you have the patience of a Saint👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I remember when I was a young mom trying to make the holidays so special for my two girls, all I did was hang lights across the front of the porch (by myself) and I was cussing like a trooper 😂😂😂the tree is so majestic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😘😘😘

[@hillaryroberts3623]

That single lit tree looks heaven sent.

[@teachandplant]

Hi Laura, Aeron, and team! I live in a tropical country where Christmas is not celebrated by the majority so seeing your Christmas videos give me so much joy every year.

[@Chefabs911]

I chuckle when you say “we’re cooking with oil”. Here in New England we say “we’re cooking with gas”

[@marieburton6127]

First to say……..keep going!!!!!! Aaron and his trees!!!

[@Ladybugsandflowers]

Wow! That one tree shining alone is quite magical. I’d be tempted to leave it all year.

[@cynthiagustafson2541]

So beautiful! My little grand sons would love it!! I'm getting some Christmas excitement already!!

[@PhyllisBechtel]

I would leave that big tree wrapped year around. It would make a nice light in the back of the property all year! Since it is clear lights it would look fabulous in the middle of summer at night!

[@evelynbrooks8558]

@@PhyllisBechtel there is a house in my area that has their trees wrapped year round. Their house sits up on a hill and it’s a gorgeous year round highlight of their home but their trees are not wrapped as meticulously as this one! I’d leave it year round! At Christmas I’d add things around it like maybe the lighted deer. 🦌 gorgeous!

[@sueanonymous6332]

I live in a remote area, and quite frankly, it's nice to have the darkness. It makes you appreciate the moon and stars!

Happy Holidays to you and your family. As well as your staff.

I could stare at that tree forever! It’s beautiful really.

[@michaelmalone8742]

Absolutely loved this video!! I'm totally with you on overwintering geraniums in terracotta pots. Such a classic look. The ending with the lit tree with a drone was absolutely magical! Benjamin too!🥰

[@disneylover8056]

i read a story once where it was either the husband or wife wanted the lone tree in the meadow decorated with lights and 1 year it happened and people came from everywhere to see it. the drone view is beautiful. i love driving around looking at the decorations

[@mrsbongiovanni3106]

Floral wrapping that tree was a lot of work but it is MAGICAL!!! 🎉😮 WOW!!🤩 Really impressive!!

[@theanonymousgardener]

Have you considered converting the cut flower gardens into formal parterres instead of subdividing the subdivided quadrants? Also how do you store your larger ladders? I have a small house but I'm surrounded by large trees and am torn between needing one and not being able to store it.

[@michaeldufresne9428]

Aaron, that was a lot of time-consuming work ,but the result was well worth it

[@maureengee364]

AMAZING. It’s going to look Glorious. The kids are going to be so excited for Christmas. Yep old 40 more trees to go.😂😂😂 PS it’s definitely the Russell video so cute and frisky. Thanks again for sharing this with us. 💯💯💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
