I apparentley didn't get the memo that people who have our age children either don't put up a xmas tree or don't put on their "Frontgate" ornament set!! I atleast knew better than to put ornaments on the bottom half of the tree! All of the plastic Halmark ornamnets MiMi gave the kids Jack is using as his "guys" to play with in his pirate ship, so those were out this year! I didn't even think that they would do something to the lights, but they're not working....none of them! We may have to take everything off the tree and start over and seriously think about not putting one up next year! I can't imagine 4 kids and a tree full of glass ornaments! Although, thinking of having the house full with 4 kids excited about xmas makes me smile :)
