The tree arrives!
After the branches are arranged and fluffed up, the lights we hung and now it was time for the ornaments!
"O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
(OK, Mom agrees that the title for this post is a bit of a stretch, but this is the only song she could kind of connect to this activity!)
(the "cord" is silver at least!)
We also talked about how we could rearrange the lights by grouping them by color or we could make a pattern using with them.
This was a fun activity that involved a fine motor work out as well as eye hand coordination practice. Now, hanging the strand of lights with out them falling down, is still being mastered!!
We made two more sets of Christmas trees to give to our grandparents to spread a little Christmas cheer!
On to our snowflake project! First, we painted four large popsicle sticks white.
Then, while the paint is still wet, we sprinkled pretty white glitter over the sticks.
After Mommy helped us glue the sticks together, we hung them in our kitchen window.
Even though we didn't get to touch the snow today, we were still pretty excited to see the first snowfall of the year! 
Here is a picture of our Advent Calendars. The big tree was given to us by Grandma Judy four years ago. Each day Amelia and I take turns adding an ornament to the tree to count "up" to Christmas. The two little trees underneath are our individual count "up" to Christmas calendars. We get to color in an ornament each day as we get closer to Christmas!
This activity was introduced to us by Heather. Joshua made one his first day of Advent activities and we thought it turned out so nice, we just had to make one for ourselves!
The reason Mommy chose this Christmas song for the title of this post was because we hung up our pretty bow wreaths on our bedroom doors, therefore we "decked the halls!"
'tis the season!!!
