Advent Plans

Are you making your Advent plans?  I have been looking around the Internet and trying to decide what I will do for our Advent wreath.  I am hoping to get it put together this week.  This is my current favorite and I am hoping I can do something along these lines.






Have you heard of a Jesse Tree? This is another way of presenting the Gospel message that starts with creation and works it way through to Jesus being the light of the world.  This site includes clip art for each day.

Today at Lifeway I picked up this Nativity floor puzzle.  D is really into puzzles so I thought this would be a fun way to go through the Christmas story!



Planning ahead will make all of this run much more smoothly!  Next year, I may have to start at the beginning of November since D's birthday is on the 19th.  The last few days I am not sure whether I have been planning Advent or Birthday party!

  1. I got a great little sticker Advent Calendar at Hobby Lobby 1/2 off the other day! Each day you put a sticker on the corresponding spot, and over the month the Nativity scene comes together. Too cute!

    And a big, huge "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREW!!" from the Bakers!

  2. So fun! I saw those today and thought that might have been better to make sure that little hands don't break our big one. :)

    Thanks for the Happy Birthday!
