Advent -- Day 2

Today was Day 2 and I think the kids already knew what their little paper was going to say, but nonetheless, they were excited to check it out...

Megan has become really interested in reading, so she asked if she could read today's activity and she did great reading it (with a little help from her big sis) :)
"We are going to decorate the Christmas Tree."

After church, I got the lights on the tree...we've been using larger lights , which we think are fun for something different, but they do make taking decent pictures a challenge, due to the glare.

The girls helped with the rest of the decorating, although they seemed to get tuckered out pretty quickly, so our tree is very simple this year, which really is fine with me...I kind like it that way :)

So, Daddy's contribution to the tree decorating is picking up Megan to put the star on top of the tree...unfortunately, I had not trimmed the top branch yet...so we had some star challenges.  Megan took it in stride, let me trim the tree and then we put it back on.  

Megan insisted on taking the final picture of the tree...notice the star did not make the cut in her picture...too funny!
