Mom Caitlin Porter shows 4-year-old twins, Ada and Clair, and sister, Lucy, how battery-operated candles work.

The youngsters helped on Sunday morning during the Ada United Methodist Church hanging of the greens for the Christmas season. The church uses 100 candles, many trees, much garland, and a number of wreaths in its seasonal decoration.
