Things I love About Winter - Day 1

Yesterday, my parents put up the lighted garlands, the sparkly snowflake ornaments, and the little Christmas wall plaques around the house.

I spent all afternoon making our Christmas advent calendar! I wanted to use glitter glue, but the paper kept wrinkling and bubbling and I wouldn't have been able to cut out the little doors. But now that I have finished, I might add some glitter ;)

As is tradition in our house, we all stood on our driveway in the snow on Thanksgiving night and watched while my dad switched on the colorful lights on the porch. The pine tree looked so pretty with the lights on under the snow!





Now all we need is a Christmas tree and we're good. I believe we'll be picking out our tree next Sunday, but we're going to wait another week to decorate it when my sister comes home!

I can't wait to wrap presents and put them under the tree ^_^
