Christmas Countdown-Day 2

Well, we did end up getting the tree up, but not without a few hitches! Our poor tree is several years old, and the lights don't seem to be working right anymore. There was an area that we could not get to come on, and we couldn't find that one bad bulb.

We decided to wrap some other lights around it that we had. They are the really big ones like from when I was a kid. When we first put them on, it looked like a real Charlie Brown Christmas tree except wider. I really liked the look!

We then let the kids put all the decorations on themselves, so you can see most of them ended up in the middle. We also have an angel Moroni for our tree topper which didn't happen to be in our Christmas stuff, so I'm not sure how long it will take me to find it in all our packed totes. We might have to break down and go buy a traditional star. :-(

On the brighter side, next Christmas we hope to be in our own house, with nothing left to unpack anywhere. Ha Ha

Happy Holidays!
