It's that time once again to pull out the tubs of decoration (all 11, yes, Andrew counted), to fluff the branches on our store-bought tree that has a few too many burnt out lights this year, and to turn on the air filter because of all the dust...yes, it's time for Christmas decorating and we LOVE it! We love putting the Christmas CD's on and dancing with our favorite snowman.
We love digging for our favorite ornaments and finding just the right spot on the tree.
We love traditions like putting the star on top of the tree. This is now a four year rotation, and they each know what year it will be their turn. Adam has been talking about it being his turn for months now. The moment did not let down...
A very proud boy
Success :)
We love the season of preparing for the Christ Child, for God's Son sent to save you and me!
How are we doing this? The Jesse Tree...see Isaiah 11:1
Every morning Beth or Jason reads from the Bible, we color a matching picture, and glue it onto pretty paper. These stories are showing us step by step from Creation until the Manger, how God has promised, prepared, and foretold the Greatest Christmas Gift of All!
More pics to come as we get more ornaments created but here's another with Adam putting a twist on our basic square ornaments by making a wraparound :)
Can't wait to see what other creations we encounter as we continue through this month.
Happy Advent!
