The Start of Advent

This has to be my favorite time of year.  Mostly because I get to see how our little ones have really taken in the scriptures and apply them to our month long activity The Advent Tree.  While living in KY, a few ladies and I gathered items to make our very own advent tree-kid friendly.  It was my first sewing project and have loved it ever since.  I will take a pic and post once it comes down from the attic this weekend, but I wanted to share the format which we follow.  This particular format is what catapulted our family into regular family worship time.  The girls responded well to it and we have modified it only to fit their needs/understanding.  We read  scripture, talk about what Advent is, sing some songs with music accompaniment, pray, and hang our home-made ornament on the advent tree. Please share, what are you doing this season to remember what Christ did for us and his birth?
