Christmas Lights!

While mom was in Idaho, we decided to decorate the tree in front of her house.  She only had lights on the small crab apple tree last year, and we all missed the big one.  It was cold and windy, but no snow yet - Dad always said we should wait until it was at least 20 degrees outside before the lights go up! :)

It's hard to see how big the tree is and how high we put the lights until you see it from this angle - notice the house next door..

Mike's turn on the ladder..

We easily strung 3,000 lights

This is the view from the living room window - the tree was beautiful!  She was so happy to see it when I picked her up from the airport.
