It has begun

The Christmasing has begun. My heart has been softened to the idea of decorating before December.  For several reasons.
Here are just a couple of them......

My boys were so excited about hanging the Christmas lights that they braved the freezing cold wind to help their Dad hang them up.  You can see what good helpers they were.  I couldn't talk Hans into socks & shoes.  He thought sandals were fine.  At least I got hats & gloves on them.

Hans loves to do funny faces.

And when they were all done we had a hot chocolate party.
