Advent

Last year we began a tradition of celebrating the Advent Sundays as we anticipate the celebration of the coming of Christ's birth.  We go through the Scripture and read over the prophecy and the Christmas story and do a craft together. 

Our first craft was a window hanging that we put together.  It turned out really neat.

Our second craft, on the second Advent Sunday was a gift box.  Those turned out well too!

The most recent craft, this past Sunday, didn't go as well.  No one actually finished it.  It was supposed to be an ornament ball.  Just what we need is another crafted ornament.  They didn't turn out which was just as well I guess.  It has been good for our family to reflect on the true meaning of the season each week.  This time of year gets so busy.
