Anyway, December 1st in our house is known as Clark Griswold day. (460) It's the day that we bust out the ladder (I really think that this is the only reason we even have a ladder) and the lights and hang them up.
It's Lukas' favorite tradition (haha). He usually ends up doing all of the work while I "coach" and take pictures. Meanwhile, the guys "help" too.
Really though, Cameron was such a helper. The only thing we worried about with him was that he would step on a bulb and break it but he was so cautious and didn't step on even one. He was very involved and a lot of fun. Oh, I quite like this age! (461)
The highlight of the evening was definitely the ladder.
And this year, Lukas got to have 2 little helpers. (462)
We don't go crazy. I like to think of it as minimalist lighting, the only thing that's not minimal about it is that we use colors and not white lights. We do one row across the house. Though it is simple, I absolutely adore it every year! (463)
Lukas even said that this year was the smoothest of all light hanging years. (464) We put the lights in the right direction, we had matching, working sets that spanned across our house, we have lights with hooks attached and even hooks for the cord at the end of the house. This is the first year that we didn't have to buy anything to accomplish this goal! Yay!
