Decorating the House

Well, it's finally done to almost everyone's satisfaction.  robert and Andrea and I had finished or tired out or something and put all of Hank's excess Christmas stuff neatly back into the boxes.  Then Hank came home in a fun mood, opened every box, emptied them, and stared to add to the decorations.  It worked out pretty well as you can see, but what a mess was made in the interim! 

I took pictures documenting the process, but couldn't bring myself to put up Santa with a noose around his neck (Hank was laughing and laughing - we weren't). The tree is full to overflowing, the clock looks so good, I might ask him to leave the garland there after Christmas.  Of course, Andrea got into the action and truly enjoyed herself.  It's nice for her to be the only kid this year.  Most of the packages you see are for her.  She knows it and is going crazy. 

Isn't this fun?
