Due to some uncertain timing we went ahead and put up our Christmas decor this weekend. We have finished our family tree and are working on our formal tree. The kids had such a good time putting everything on. Addie kept clapping her hands saying "I LOVE Christmas, momma!" It was precious and so much fun. Paige loved seeing each of her personal ornaments. I felt bad for Addie because we went nuts the first year we had Paige having a new baby and everyone got her an ornament. Baby number 2 didn't get that Christmas excitement because she was nearly a year old by the time Christmas came around so she only has 1 "my first christmas" ornament. And I was bad and didn't buy dated ornaments last year so now Addie is severely short changed so I will have to do better from here on out.
Now, my second tree isn't decorated yet because we are having a lights problem. It's a 3 year old pre-lit tree and one set of lights blew out last year. There must have been a short because every light is burned out with black inside the bulb. We changed the fuses and tried to replace a few bulbs, but I dont' have the right size bulbs. So, I will make a trip to Hobby Lobby today to try and find replacement bulbs then replace EACH bulb in that strand. I don't know what else to do. The lights are literally wrapped around each branch so taking the strand off is out of the question. Who knew a pre-lit tree would be so difficult.

Ugh! You just reminded me that one section of our pre-lit tree went out right at the end of the season last year! I'm not looking forward to finding the one little bugger that's out!
Your tree is gorgeous!
