Getting in the Spirit

 There is so much fun stuff going on this time of year, I LOVE the advent season!!! It seems especially fun with little ones who are so captivated by the Christmas story and wonder all around. Above is a photo of a group of friends at our annual cookie exchange/ decorating party. If you think this looks like a lot of kids and a lot of sugar in a small house- you are right.  But also a lot of fun! Next week the kids have 4 different Christmas parties that they are part of so I'm going to need some sugar to power through.

 This year I am using the ebook The Truth in Tinseltown for our family advent devotions. We all love it! Each evening the kids get a word clue that they listen for in the Bible reading. We talk about the story, sing a song and then there is an ornament craft to go with each day. We don't do every craft, but they love it when we do.  I would highly recommend the book if you are looking for something simple and purposeful for young kids.
