Our tree is up............

Geneva and the kids put the tree up last night. I believe they all had a nice time. But not after I got thoroughly disgusted cutting and ripping the pre-hung lights off the tree. We had one whole section that was DEAD. So, we decided to pull them all off and string it up the old fashioned way. I will NEVER again buy a pre-lit tree. Granted I have had this one for like 4 years or so and the lights just died this season...but that was a serious PITA to deal with.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!! Here is a preview of the snowman Jared drew that I hope to use for our family Christmas card this year.
