Today we start Advent. This year Mollie put together activities to do with the kids each day of advent. Some are simple, some are silly, hopefully all will help teach something about Advent.
Today we used a Sunday School activity -- decorating a yule log Advent "wreath." Tonight before dinner we lit the first candle and talked about how Advent is about waiting... for Jesus to be born. We talked about waiting for things, like for our presents, for moving into our new house, and of course for Jesus our Savior.
I hope each day to take pictures of what we do so everyone can experience Advent with us too. Visit every day to see what the kids did that day!
