Christmas Lights

This afternoon, I put up the Christmas lights on the house. Jason and Shawn were pretty excited about this and wanted to help me. Of course, their kind of help ended up as them playing in the dirt while I did all the work, but they had fun. :-)

That sure is a lot of lights, mom. We have to put them all up?
Wow. That seems like work, but we're the right helpers for the job, mom.

Jason is helping mom try to figure out why the string of lights
wasn't completely lit.

Putting up the lights.
One string up, only two more to go!

What? Lights? What lights?
Oooh, look! Dirt! And a gate!
This is a whole lot better than doing whatever it is mom's doing.

This was a lot of hard work, mommy. Let's go inside now.

The best part was how excited they were to see them lit when we came home this evening. Love it!
