Check out our awesome new Christmas tree! I put it up yesterday and Sarah decorated it this afternoon. It looks really nice in person. The picture I have doesn’t do it justice. When Sarah was putting on the lights she fell of the chair into the tree! She was a little scuffed and a few branches were bent, but they both survived. I have no idea why the tree did not tip over! It was super difficult to keep from laughing.

Today, I put up our Christmas lights on the house. I had bought a fancy pole and clips to try to make it easier and possibly avoid a ladder. That pole kit was annoying and worthless! Maybe if I had some trees it would have worked well, but not the house. I went back to my tried and true method of using the tiny clips. This year I knew what I was doing and it only took me about an hour. I even felt fine on the ladder. The lights …

So glad the sun is out today. It has been really hard to wake up the past few days. Only four more working days until I’m off for 5 days for the Thanksgiving holiday. I cannot wait. I am so so ready for a few days off.
Tim and I will be decorating for Christmas and putting up the tree, which I’m really looking forward to. I love all the holiday decor, lights and general festive ambiance that the holidays bring.
This is the time of year I’m most like my mom …
