The Christmas season

When I was younger and lived in a house, one of the things I looked forward to the most, was putting up the Christmas lights. Every year I would come up with either new colors of lights or a new way to strand them around the house.

This year, being Sierra's first Christmas, we took her to one of the neighborhood streets to show her Christmas lights. Decorations sure have come along way. Not only are there still lights, but now there are moving reindeer's and giant animals or characters blown up with air. Sierra had a great time, and I even think she is starting to understand. After every house she would say "Ohhhhhh". That is her newest sound along with "Hi" that she says to everyone she passes.

Needless to say, we had a good time looking at lights, and I also think she is getting the hand of what it is going to take next year when she is my assistant in decorating the house.
