Lights

Christmas decorations are slowly getting put up here at our home. I *finally* got my tree strung with lights. It seemed to take forever and a day. Last Saturday I bought lights from Hobby Lobby. That night I pulled them out and realized they were on white wire... not green. So on Wednesday I went to Walmart and bought 3 boxes of mini lights. Well, they filled up the bottom third of my tree, so I went back that night and bought 3 more boxes. I barely had enough... well not quite enough. If I wanted to take them off and start over I probably could have stretched them out and filled up the tree, but I wasn't about to start over (I had already done that several times). I went back to Walmart the next morning and bought one more box. It was broken. Of course I chose the box that was broken. So I went back to Walmart one more time and now our tree is complete.... 700 lights later. I got a *little* obsessed...

I think pre-lit trees are such a good idea...

Now we can finally decorate the tree, Evan and Kiah have been patiently waiting.
