Celebrating Jesus - Day 1

 The holidays are so much fun!  We had a great Thanksgiving and we are now ready for winter and Christmas and celebrating the birth of Jesus!

Each day of December we will have the anticipation of Advent:  Advent boxes, books, and devotions, along with a daily art project or craft for the kids when they get up from their naps. 

 Our Advent boxes hold a piece of the nativity scene - and by Dec 25 it will be complete.  Today's box held a camel :-)

I have wrapped Christmas books - stories of the birth of our Christ and labeled each one with a date.  Each morning the kids get to open that day's book. 

 

 Day 1 is "Room for a Little One" and we have already ready it 5 times! 

 Today's craft is making angels that are wrapped around a cardboard tube so that they stand up. Glitter pens, glue, crayons, etc make for some happy kids! While they were decorating them I read Luke 1:26, the story of the angel Gabriel coming to Mary.

My angels with their angels :-)
