Deck the halls!

The Monday after Thanksgiving we decided to get a jump on the Christmas decorations. This was Brent's first time to hang lights from the roof. Last year we just did the bushes and at the old duplex we wrapped them around the front pillars. But all in all this experience was very easy, Brent did a great job of putting up the little hooks then running the lights through. I wrapped some lights around the front pear tree too. We used only small white lights - we wanted to look "classy" not "tacky" - to use Brents' words. :)
The finished product! We live on the corner, so many people can see our lights from the street. Maybe next year I can talk Brent into a cardboard stand up of Snoopy (just kidding!).
After the outside was done, we put up decorations inside. I never enjoyed untangling Christmas lights....
Baby Peter thought that the lights were the neatest thing. He decided it was his heart's desire to get them into his mouth when I wasn't looking.
What a sweet time to watch our baby see his first Christmas come! :)

I love decorating for Christmas. Karis got to decorate her own tree this year. We still had a small four foot tree from when we lived in the trailer. She enjoyed putting ornaments on it and loves to plug in her tree everyday. She also loves playing with her "tivity" scene as she calls it.
