the kids were up bright and early this morning ready to open the first slip on our advent calendar.
landon had his lego calendar opened and put together before i even got downstairs.
{this year i opted for the star wars lego advent calendar}
Activities:
paint a christmas tree on our patio door,
cut out 25 circles as ornaments for our tree,
pick a person or family to pray for
{we will add an ornament each day after we have prayed for that person or family}
and add that ornament to our tree.
decorate your bedroom windows with christmas designs
Bible Verses:
Yes, my soul, find rest in God;my hope comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. Psalm 62:5-6
You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3
A voice of one calling:
"In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD;
make straight in the desert
a highway for our God. Isaiah 40:3
this is AWESOME. what an incredible thing you are doing with your family. LOVE how you celebrate advent!
ReplyDeleteLove your pics! Did you get the package/letters for the kids? Anna & I think it looks like Morgan may have the flower bobby pin in, but weren't positive. We'll have to talk about Christmas exchange/letter again!
ReplyDeleteI did this idea one year after seeing Denise do it! I didn't wash the trees down for like 6 months! So bad!! :) I like your prayer ornament idea.... a lot! :)
