In preparation for Christmas, Ethan and Grandpa Ed hung Christmas lights on the house. Ethan was "the general" helping grandpa Ed hang the large ornaments on the trees out front. He moved the ladder himself and tied the ornaments on his own. Here he is tying the ornament string.

Ethan than makes sure the placement is just right!

Ethan is helping grandpa hang lights on the front porch.

Dad even got in on the action!

The light hanging took several days. Ethan even got to get on the roof of the house (under close supervision by Grandpa Ed). Here is a picture of him looking through the second floor window.

The house looks just beautiful. The guys did a great job. Here are some shots of the lights.



Here is a shot of the back looking from the back porch into the back yard.

The next day, we purchased and decorated the Christmas tree.

Here Ethan and Dad hang the star!

What a great looking tree! Dad takes a cookie break after working so hard.
