We Got a Tree!
December is upon us, (has been for a while!) so I decided that it's time to start decorating. Phil and I found a tree at Macro and after a few minutes of debating it was ours. This was the first time I bought a tree and I'm quite pleased with my choice. Last night we had a little "tree party" and put up and decorated the tree, while most everyone else was in bed. We wanted it to be a surprise! No one knew we bought a tree and they thought we'd go without one this year. Here are a few pictures of our little tree "fete".
Everyone diligently arranging the branches.
Trying to sort out the tangle of lights. We only had 3 sets; one would blink, and the other 2 had the lights bunched on one line. It was a mission to figure out how they would go on the tree.
Phil is trying to fix one set of lights so it wouldn't blink. It took at least 1/2 hour.
Ta-da! The finished product. Do you like it? I'm quite pleased with it and I may say so as most of the praise and glory belongs to Ella and Phil. We'll try to find a star next time we go out. But for now it's going to be angels announcing the birth of Christ.
A lovely glass bauble. We don't have any kids in the house so it's pretty safe.
The lights look okay after all!
