Advent Resources

The season is here!  A whole month of focusing on the birth of Christ and what that means for our lives 2,000 years later.  We drove home from my parents tonight and as I roused a sleeping D from his car seat, we walked out in the driveway to see the lights our neighbors had put up.  He was amazed at the lights and I told him the neighbors had put up lights to celebrate Jesus' birthday.  He was so excited and it got me excited as well!  Because of our trip home today, we will be kicking off most of our Advent activities tomorrow.  It isn't too late for you to start as well!  

Our take on an Advent wreath
 I still need to add the center white candle.

Here are a few resources that will help you out and remember it doesn't have to be fancy or over the the top!  The purpose to focus our hearts and the hearts of our children on the Savior this season.
