go visit Kerry's blog to see the Carnival of Anglican Advent traditions!
We got our Jesse Tree up today (made of many pieces of construction paper, and taped to the wall above our dining room table) and got all the ornaments made yesterday (of craft foam and Elmer's glue). I'll try to get some pictures up once a few of the ornaments are actually on the tree.
It was so much fun to make the ornaments with my older two kids, and it didn't take much more than an hour. Some year it'd be fun to make more pretty and permanent ones, but I like how colorful and bright the ones we did this year are. They're far from perfect, but the kids (ages 4 and 2) got to actually HELP, with their own little safety scissors, and so the imperfection is well worth it.
We did not get our Advent candles lit though, so I'm going to try to at least get the candles (if not the wreath) out by tomorrow night. We'll see!
peace of Christ to you,
Jessica Snell
