Getting Ready for Christmas

Well, the last couple days we have been doing our Christmas decorating. We started on Monday, hanging the lights outside. It became more of a chore than we bargained for. We got them all up and then a fuse blew. We changed the fuse, then after 5 minutes of being on, it blew again. We went through this a few times. We needed to go to Wal-Mart to get a few more strands to finish the house anyway, so we picked up an extra box. We got the last 4 boxes of the lights we've used the last couple of years. Anyway, so we couldn't finish doing the lights until yesterday. Jacob changed out the strand that kept blowing the fuse. Then it happened again. We decided we just had too many plugged in together. So we used another extension chord. Thankfully, that was the problem. While Jacob was working on the lights, I was inside rearranging the furniture so we could put our tree up. (We got our tree Monday night, too). When Jaron got home from school, he was so excited to see that Christmas has started to come to our house. While Jenna was sleeping, I decided to take a rest. While resting, Jaron grabbed the step ladder and some nails and hung the stockings where they go. When I got up and saw that he did that, I was so proud of him. It was such a cute thing to do. Today, we brought our tree in the house. Jaron was super excited to see it inside. He wanted to start decorating it right away. Here are a few pictures from the last couple of days. I hope everyone is having fun getting ready for Christmas. I love this time of year!
