Living for Him

[advent]

How I love the advent season! I’m terribly nostalgic, which I’m sure plays into it. But I do adore all the pretty things and softness and, well, all the fun.

This year, I have been blessed. Oh, so very blessed. I have two little boys who will be at my house three days a week, all through the Christmas season. We shall have such a blast! I’ve been planning and scheming. (How many years did I long for even one child to share the Christmas season with? And now I have two.)

The very first thing I did was plan advent. And I don’t mean the four Sundays before Christmas. I mean, the twenty-five days of Christmas. I controlled myself and did not go spend a lot of money. I took  [this] idea and made it with the scraps around my house. (I did buy buttons) and this is what I created…

Inside is a prize, an activity and the reference to a story.

I do hope you’ll join us for our stories this Christmas season. To view them, go to the top of my blog and highlight “25 days of Christmas”. A list of the days will show up. My version of The Story, written for little children. I hope you enjoy!

    What a wonderful and creative way to celebrate the waiting. Your house sounds like a special place to be for Christmas. I’m glad you have these houseguests to share it with :). I’m hopping over from Charity’s and am so glad I did. Happy waiting.

    What a creative idea. I love your Advent plans. How is it going? Are the boys just loving it?

      They are! It’s adorable. D come bounding in the house singing at the top of his lungs which day he gets to open. So precious.

      Every day before I start the story he says, “Does the man come and fight the snake yet?” –> I love that the most.
