Seasonal decor

We're officially in Christmas mode!

On Saturday night we put on the proper music and started decorating...

Stace and Cora did a great job on the tree, with Cora handling the ornament placement for the lower half of the tree.

Does it go without saying that the lower half of the tree was very ornamented?

Stace also put up Christmas lights in the playroom - they serve double purpose, looking festive and adding needed light! Still ought to figure out a better permanent lighting situation for that room... or perhaps we should keep Christmas with us all through the year in there.

Cora loves our in-house lights, and the outside lights.

When we're driving around, she say to me repeatedly, "Mummy. When you see a house with lights on, you have to tell me."
She says it very firmly, with the emphasis on "tell me."

I can't wait to take her to the neighborhoods with the visible-from-space displays. I know she'll love it this year!
