Christmas decorating

Our house is mostly decorated for Christmas.  We needed almost entirely new sets of lights this year, and Andrew also decided to put lights up outside.  He outlined the top of the front of the house, and it looks nice.  In fact, I especially enjoyed it this morning as I was waiting for the bus with Robert.  We had the trees all put together and lights on by Saturday evening, and then spent the evening decorating with the ornaments.  The kids all looked forward to it, and all of them seem to realize that the years of this being how we do things each year are limited.  One of the things we most enjoyed this year when hanging the ornaments was remembering those no longer with us.  So many of those ornaments hold precious memories, and everything seemed to recognize that this year.
