Tree Trimming

Agh! These crazy pictures loaded in the wrong order, so please excuse them.

Here is our HUGE tree. I call it the BAT (Big A@& Tree).

Poor Michael had a fit with the lights. The readers digest version is that I checked all the lights before he put them on the tree. Hours (and I mean hours) later we plugged in the tree and at least 1/4 of the lights didn't work. We finally fixed the problem with Michael swearing that we were going to break the "having a tree tradition." I said, "This sounds like the perfect time to get a pre-lit artificial tree." He didn't find the humor in that. Needless to say, I'm sure this is not the last year for a tree in our house.

I think Mac had more fun going up and down the step ladder than actually putting the ornaments on the tree.

Gotta love this happy face!
