Last Monday we had a "Night Before Advent" party at our house. We brought out our advent book (Unwrapping the Greatest Gift - Voskamp), read the introduction, drank hot chocolate, opened up some new candles, and talked about what advent is. We also collected some branches for our Jesse Tree. This is our 5th year of doing a Jesse Tree.
The girls are really into advent this year and we have been having some great discussions about Jesus. The girls are getting very excited for Christmas and I love that these discussions are helping them (and me) keep their hearts centered on the true meaning of Christmas... the birth of our Saviour!
We have also been enjoying doing some of the activities that go along with the book.
