Hanging the lights






The day after Thanksgiving is generally the day that we put up all the Christmas decorations. I was kinda wiped out from my Black Friday early morning shopping with my mom and sisters that I was hoping to hold off at least a day or two. But the second that I walked in the door Jaiden was begging to get started, so we decorated the inside of the house and the tree. I've kind of got my tree to where I really like it and it has some fun ornaments that I have collected over the years. The girls always bring an ornament home from school that they made and like to find a special spot on the tree.
We have two tiny trees from years past that I let them put in their own rooms and they put all their homemade ornaments from years past or candy canes or any thing they want on it to decorate.
I talked Jason into putting up the house lights this year. I love to come around the corner at night and see our house lights on, it makes it so cheery.

Oh your house DOES look cheery! Cole won't put lights on the house. Too hard...he put the lights on the tree, that should be enough right? LAME!

Your house looks great! And I love the idea of little trees in the girls rooms with whatever they want on them. Maybe when my boys get bigger! We're defintely going to start an ornament tradition this year with them. And we have lights on our house for the first time ever. Christmas is so much more fun with kids...especially now that Ashton understands :)

Hurray! I'm glad you convinced or tricked, or whatever you did to get Jason on the roof, so you can enjoy being all lit up for Christmas. It looks great.
