It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

Friday we spent the whole day pulling out Christmas decorations and getting the house all decorated for Christmas. Maddie was a big help this year. She loved helping me inside... ...but I think she liked helping her dad hang the lights outside even better!
Mike worked literally ALL day hanging lights outside. He did a great job and the kids absolutely LOVE the finished product. It was all so worth it! They get so excited when we drive up at night and the house is all lit up.
This is Shorty (the penguin) and Osito (the polar bear). I guess this is the sort of thing we have to get into here in California where we don't get snow. Instead, we decorate our yards with light up animals. The kids both really love these little friends of ours.
While Mike was working outside in the yard, William played in the car. He loves doing this and it helps to keep him confined for a short time so we can actually get something done. Don't worry. The windows were cracked and the emergency brake was on.
Even Jackson enjoyed the Friday decorating festivities. We're getting excited for Christmas! Next weekend, we're getting the tree...
