Merrily, Merrily

I'm trying to get the lights on my Christmas tree.

I've been to the store twice.

Once to buy them.

And once to exchange the ones I bought with white electrical cords for the ones I need with green cords.

And this is after I spent three+ hours getting the old (non-working) lights off my pre-lit tree.

Next time I will buy a new pre-lit tree and be done with it!

Ah....the holiday season is upon us!  ; )

Mine is not yet fully assembled....

Update: The tree is up and the lights are on it!  Now onward to ornament placement. I will get this done!

Gratefulness

There is so much to be thankful for that my heart overflows with it all.  So, I'd like to share some of my blessings with you. May your Thanksgiving be filled with the laughter and love of family and friends.

Thank you Lord for all you have given us!

Getting a feel for being a leprechaun.

I don't think Emma is a fan.

Can you tell that this one is a mess?
