Second Week of Advent

 


Just thought I'd share a picture of Rose's Advent Calendar that her Gramma surprised her with!  She looks forward to her little chocolate suprises so much each day!  

Advent Calendars are such a wonderful way to show children how  exciting it is to be counting down the days towards the Birth of Baby Jesus!  

Like most of you, I have many memories of the exciting anticipation of opening each Little Door of the Calendar each day!  It's truly a not-to-be-missed part of childhood!


We're planning on going out to get our Christmas Tree on the 16th or so.  We have used a real tree each Christmas up to now, but this year we decided to go for a fake one, mainly to eliminate any dangers associated with pine needles and toddlers!  

So look out for our next post when I'm hoping to show you our completely decorated Tree next week!!  

I think the little girls will have lots and lots of fun decorating it with us!  I'm definetly looking forward to this upcoming 'Decorating Season'!

Hope your'e all enjoying a blessed Advent

Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs Allen
