I grew up in a church that celebrated the Christmas Advent season with an Advent wreath & candles. It is a tradition that I want my girls to experience so we got it started tonight. You light a candle the four Sundays before Christmas & Christmas Eve. We used a book that a friend gave me that worked great for preschoolers. We read a modern day story, the story of the angel coming to Mary & Joseph & then learned one of God's names - Emmanuel - God with us. The book has activity sheets that Jolie loved & Sarah put her mark on. They loved lighting the candle & are looking forward to the day when we light ALL five. Hopefully this tradition will help us to anticipate the birth of Christ all month long.
Here are some pictures from tonight.
