First Advent Sunday

Today was the first Advent Sunday.  Our family is taking time each week to look forward to Christmas and focus on the birth of Christ.  Today we read from Isaiah 9 about the prophecy of the coming Messiah.  It's a great way to get the kids focused on what Christmas is all about, Jesus. 
After we talked about the Bible, we did a craft together.  Today's craft was a snowman placemat!
