Christmastime Is Here Again!

We hung our outdoor Christmas lights over the weekend.  Saturday was our last day in the 40s.  Our highs this week are in the 20s, dropping to the teens overnight.  The cold weather is definitely helping to put us in the Christmas spirit!IMG_9633

Cale was particularly smitten with this lovely elf.IMG_2906.2
