Jump start.

So I got a little jump on the holiday spirit this year.
I didn't want to miss it.
We put the lights on the house this weekend.
We are usually the very last ones in our neighborhood to get them up
BUT this year I told Trev. . . 
let's do it while it is still warm, and EVERYONE can help!
So, they are up!  
AMAZING!  WONDERFUL!
All the kids helped.
And he only complained a little.
Usually he complains a lot...he hates being cold up on an icy roof.
I mean . . . Santa does it every year.
I doubt HE complains.

AND so my blog reflects the Christmas Spirit
that is starting to fill my soul.
Early as it may be.
Now you can start checking back with a mug of hot cocoa in your hands.

Yes, I am still looking forward to the Thanksgiving feast.
But it's coming up pretty quick,
and with the lights up, I can enjoy doing other things.

Like... decorations and the tree!
It is definitely "the most wonderful time of the year"!
Enjoy!
