Deck the Halls

We have an artifical tree. One of our yearly traditions is to put up the tree Thanksgiving evening or Friday. This year was no different with the exception of being behind this year. Todd brought the tree into the house Thanksgiving evening. Our tree is pre-lite and so we started fixing up the branches making adjustments to each to help it look fuller and in preparation for decorating. Once plugged in we noticed that two different sets of lights were not working. So the kids and I started looking for what strand was not plugged in correctly.



After no success we decided a light must have burned out. But where? There were many strands and lights on this tree. Todd decided we better take the lights off the tree and begin looking for the burned out bulb. Talk about a long project. It took awhile but we found the burnt out bulb.

Kaylynn being silly with one of the light strands!


Kierstie and Cozette wanted to re-sting the lights on the tree.




The kids putting decorations on the tree. I prefer a theme or at least color theme. This year was no different...lol! After the kids were finished, I took the ornaments off the tree and re-decorated.



Now if I could just finish putting out Christmas. At least I am finished (for the most part) with Christmas...shopping that is!
