Christmas Countdown and Advent

Have you started any Advent activities? We have, we are doing the Jesse Tree from Tiredneedsleep.blogspot.com blog. She has a PDF file with topic, verse, prayer, and an ornament to decorate to make a tree. We decided to make a book rather then doing ornaments for a tree. So far day one we talked about creation and day 2 discussed Adam and Eve and sin. The rest of the schedule looks fun and I might add some crafty projects to them! :)

Starting December 1st I will be joining the creative countdown to Christmas by doing the activities that are suggested through 24 different blogs. I saw the list of bloggers who are involved and I know it is going to be some awesome Christmas fun! :) I am excited to share our work. :)
