Advent






We have been doing a advent series called the "12 days till Christmas" that I found online. It was wonderful, it had a Bible reading, family discussion and alittle craft that you could do with the kids. One of the days we were talking about Christmas tree's so we made rice krispie cut out shapes and decorated them with frosting and candies. The kids had a great time! We have really enjoyed the advent theme this year. It was the first time we've tried it. Each day there was an activity that I put in a sealed envelope with the # of that day on it.  The kids couldn't wait to open each envelope for devotions each night. I think it helped the kids realize the true meaning of Christmas.
