Nick's method involves carefully situating the lights in specific places.
My method involves "flinging" from afar. (But really only for the high parts of the tree where we can't reach and other times just because it's fun!)
Even with our extremely different methods... it turned out pretty well.
We called it quits after those trees. It was cold and getting dark. Next weekend we'll tackle the wreaths on our front fence and the icicle lights (unless I'm feeling productive during Zoe's nap... then maybe the wreathes will go up during the week). I'll probably slowly pull out all of the indoor decorations, too.
Nick just walked through. He would like to add how he was never going to be one of those people who puts up Christmas decorations early... especially not the weekend after Thanksgiving... not even early in December. I wonder who convinced him it was necessary?

Hey, better now than in feet of snow...or ice :)
It looks great so far! I really wanted to start on our decorations this weekend too, but the weather here has been just terrible.
Can't wait to see the pics of the finished product (because I'm sure there will be pics).
Yahoo!! I cannot wait to get home to pull out all the lights and decorations. It is quite an event in our house and I am itching to get started.
The trees look gorgeous!
Found you through HipMomma and I was pleasantly surprised to read you're from Madison. I grew up in East Hanover. How cool!
Stacy- It's a small world! I'm in East Hanover way too often (thanks to Target and Applebees!) I actually grew up in Morristown.
I tried to click through to your info. through your name link... but it kept giving me an error message. I'd love to stop by your site.
They look great!
Well, my husband is the "I will never put up outdoor decorations...EVER" so at least you get some! ;) I know our kids love the Christmas lights, so I'm sure Zoe is thrilled about it, right? :)
Pretty! I love your trees!
(And don't tell him how early my tree was up!) ;-)
you guys make a great team...it looks beautiful! We put the Christmas tree up yesterday! just a little one this year, due to acertain curious little girl that would wear me otherwise! Every year I try to get hubby to do lights outside, and every year he declines - and refuses to allow me to pull out the ladder and do it myself!
That looks fabulous! Not many people do that in this country
Ok. So I know this is a random thought, and probably proves I've been watching too many commercials lately.... BUT...
Your trees? They looked like they were arranged from smallest to tallest in that first pic of them. Reminded me of the Cingular/AT&T commercials...
:)
Ah, but he does good work (and you too). At my house, I carefully clip each light to a branch of the tree. My husband is the "flinger"
That looks so pretty!
Tell him it was worth it. They look great1!!
