Ethan and Kate helped Daddy put up our Christmas lights.

They were great helpers, but there came a point when it started to rain and Tim had me come out to hold the ladder.

Our lights are just a little bit sad this year. Tim usually has a reasonable presentation of lights--not overboard, but decent. This year it's just kind of cute, simple, and . . . quaint. We giggle a little every time we pull into the driveway at night.  At first we didn't care because we were the only house on our block that had lights, but in the past two days three more houses have added their lights. . . it's okay, though, because we are all just in the "darling" department, and nothing more.
