Little Tree

This morning we put lights on the crepe myrtle trees we have in front of the house. DH had fashioned a tree from net lights around the fountain plus we have a light-up Santa and reindeer which have all been up since before Thanksgiving, but it still just looks so dark out there at night. It was rather nippy outside with the temps in the 40s, so our fingers were frozen until we found our gloves still in the bag from our Colorado trip last March. DS#3 was fascinated by the lights and just sat there looking at them until we were finished.

When we were done, DS#3 went over to one of the big trees and saw that a tiny tree was beginning to come out of the ground below all the big trees. He kept talking to his big brother about how this was a "li'l chee" (little tree). DS#1 seemed to be enjoying just listening to his baby brother.

DH also got out my collection of standing Santas. I'll take a picture of the lights later when it gets dark.
