Putting Up The Christmas Tree

We put up the Christmas tree for family night the Monday after Thanksgiving this year.  Rather than pull out our fragile ornaments from storage, we decided to make some paper trimmings.

 

Reese and I each colored an angel and then we glued them back-to-back on a paper cone.  All day, Reese couldn't stop talking about the angel she was going to put on the tree when Daddy came home and we could start.

 

My side of the angel,

 

Then we colored some paper strips and made a chain to wrap around the tree.

Reese was pretty proud of the finished product.  Liam refused to get in the picture because he was upseat that we glued his chain to the main one.  And that we wouldn't let him play with the glue stick anymore.
