Time to decorate

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it is time to decorate for Christmas! Jeff put up the lights outdoors and we put the tree up together as a family. Well, almost. Aubrey helped to sort the tree branches and hang them. Then she took a break until it was time to hang the ornaments. Tyler wanted to help, but he was better off contained in the pack in the play. After fighting a few dead bulbs and blowing a couple of fuses, we successful finished the tree. I forgot to take an "after" picture but will do so and post later. It looks beautiful! Bring on Christmas!
