Advent and Christmas are larger than life this year. The kids are so excited about each part- the lights, the Jesse tree, the Advent candles, and especially the Advent calendars (felt and chocolate). Wednesday we "helped" Grandma and Grandpa B decorate their tree. Auntie Jenn is coming this weekend to take our family Christmas picture. It's so fun to see them thoroughly enjoy each activity.We are taking a break from the Beginner's Storybook Bible (my favorite) to read The Jesus Storybook Bible this month. It doesn't have as many of the details, but it captures the wonder and anticipation of waiting for the Savior.
I'm hoping to have the kids learn the names of all the Nativity characters this year, and maybe the beginning stanza of Hark the Harold Angels Sing (with the help of the push-the-button Charlie Brown's Christmas book.) Happy Advent, everyone!
