As we turned our calendars over to December, Chris was determined to get his annual holiday masterpiece completed this weekend. We all know how much Chris loves the Iowa Hawkeyes...well if there is something that rates right up there with his beloved black and gold, it's Christmas. His first holiday away from home 9 years ago, he decorated his apartment for Christmas at Halloween. Since we've been married I have to persuade him not to get the decorations up before Thanksgiving. We were in Seattle last weekend and Chris has been itching all week to get his lights up (after all, next weekend is the 5th Annual Kasparek House Lighting Party).
Armed with his new staple gun and his sketched blueprint of the house/yard he got to work yesterday morning (note the sunny sky...)
Camden cheered on Daddy by chewing on his sleeve. ;)
After getting most of the house decorated and commenting on the fact that he needed a taller ladder, he moved on to the pine trees as the snow began to fall...
And here he is 24 hours and about 6 inches of snow later finishing up the lights! Our neighbor let him borrow a taller ladder to finish.
Emma was there today to "help" Daddy :)

Way to go Chris. I bet it looks beautiful. Wish we were in the States for Christmas- but that snow is not my kind of weather!
