Advent

Advent means "coming", a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. We have been doing Advent since November 27th. This is our first year using this source and we are enjoying it. I am also reading The Adventure of Christmas by Lisa Whelchel and The Family Read Aloud Christmas Treasury to the children. We have been listening to Christmas music. My children love Christmas music and movies. It makes it special because they only watch these movies and listen to Christmas music at this time of the year.

Carissa has been busy making presents. I hope to get a picture of them when they are unwrapped.

I am behind with my decorations and we have not went Christmas tree hunting yet. The kids cannot wait to go to the tree farm.
