Advent...

This year for Advent we did a Manger picture. I bought the little sticker book for $1.50 off of Amazon and each day we put a different person or animal in the manger scene. I also printed off and laminated cards from the Jesus Storybook Bible and we used those to read a different Old Testament Bible Story each day before naptime and then put our card on a little close line hanging in the kitchen. Jeremiah loved reviewing the cards. I am actually going to do them again in January- doesn't hurt to have a little review. Then we ended at Christmas with Jesus being born and visited by the shepherds and wise men! Both of the ideas are definitely a fun easy repeat for Advent next year. We also enjoyed lighting a candle at lunch time each day for lunch too and listening to fun kid friendly Christmas music- our favorite- GT and the Halo Express- Ticket to Christmas. I listened to this growing up and I just love how each of the songs are Scripture verses!!!
