Last weekend we finally put up the Christmas tree. Joe and E did the heavy lifting by getting everything out of the garage, putting the tree together, and adding the lights. I added garland, and then on Monday finished it with ornaments. I really wanted to do a green, silver, and red theme this year with the ornaments I had gotten on clearance after Christmas last year, but it turned out I didn’t have enough white lights and it would look strange with multi-colored ones, so it’s a hodge-podge look again.
(Target had a Cartwheel offer for 40% off holiday lights yesterday and today, however, so I got two packs of 300 white lights for next year so I’ll be prepared.)
Saturday evening we drove out to Aurora to check out their festival of lights. It was a cute display done at their local zoo that you drive through. I’m not so sure E was that thrilled with it, but he didn’t complain because he’s a good kid like that.
