The Lights......

I guess we have to start somewhere, so today Dennis started the job of decorating the outside of the house....first big job on the list is to add lights to the ash tree out front.

Dennis does a fantastic job by wrapping lights around every branch in the tree--since he has A LOT of experience climbing trees he can get up in the tree real well and make it look beautiful. It is a lot of work!

Dennis brought all the Christmas decoration boxes from the shed onto the back patio. I am always so surprised how much stuff we have. We will concentrate on getting the outside decorations up this week and work on the Christmas tree next week.

I do not usually go too crazy with decorations but Colin really is understanding the holidays this year so I think it will be fun to do a little more and have the tree up a little longer this year. I will put the tree up earlier then I usually do but I can almost guarantee that it will still come down the day after Christmas, like always! :)
