On Saturday, we went to Dobbies (garden centre) to see the Christmas display and get a couple of bits.   After we'd had our dinner, Kory got down to making his card for nursery.  I showed him how to make the snowflakes and he was good at cutting out the bits!  I had to fold them up for him though. 

He sat for ages cutting then gluing them on and lastly came the glitter.  I was told the one I'd made was boring and didn't look like Christmas and that he wanted Christmas coloured glitter.   So he sprinkled and glued some more until he was done!

This was the final result beside my one.  I don't like to be beaten but his *does* look better!

Yesterday (Sunday) being the first Sunday of Advent, we decided to put the tree up.  Yeah it's earlier than we would normally, but the kids are excited and I'm excited and we wanted it there for starting to open advent calendars tomorrow morning.

We had fun decorationg it (I should emphasise the decorating, not building or putting 5 sets of lights on!) and I even managed to keep my OCD in check and not stop them putting same coloured baubles together. 

Krystal got to put the fairy on the top too.  Now I suppose I need to get wrapping and get stuff under it.  The bit I HATE doing.
