Last year we had no lights on the house. No work, no money, no time. Lack of Christmas spirit, I suppose. I did put 17 strands of lights on our 7 1/2 foot tall Christmas tree, but it didn't quite make up for the dark house every time I come around the corner.
This year we started early. The day after Thanksgiving, Ally, Amy, Maddie, and I put up lights while Lamoni mowed the lawn to get ready for the sidewalk-lining little light-up trees.
Continuing her new tradition of always wearing heels, Ally climbed the ladder to the roof wearing her high-heeled boots.
We made her throw them down so she could climb OFF the roof in them.
The girls wound the lights around the railing and outlined the balcony too. Jeff is still supposed to outline the tall roof, which is why I was waiting to take a picture of the finished product, but I'm thinking it might not happen.There are few things that make me happier than coming up the street and seeing my house all lit up for Christmas! Happy holidays!

I must say, everyone did a great job! The lights look beautiful :o)
Heh, I love that she climbed onto and walked around on a roof in heels. Hooray for tough modern women. :) And also hooray for Christmas lights! I'm glad this year is better than last.
Excuse me, it wasn't just Ally, Amy, and you who put up the lights... :) Although most of my time was spent being the runner.
Ooops, sorry Maddie! Fixed it!
Yay for Christmas lights! I can't believe Ally was up there in heels! I can hardly walk in them let alone climb in them :D
