On Saturday our family will begin our Advent preparations. Maren and I have had a few talks on the way to preschool about Advent...and preparing our hearts for the celebration of Christ's birth. We'll be using Truth in the Tinsel this year, and we'll decorate the printable ornaments (found here). I'm planning to use the same book next year, and we'll do the more time-intensive ornaments when Maren and Truett are able to work on them together next year. Remember my desire to simplify this year? Well, using the simple printable ornaments fits into our plan. *wink*
Last year Maren and I made an Advent Tree out of toilet paper rolls. You can find the original tutorial here.
Hello, 3-year-old Maren!
Do you have any special Advent plans? I'm looking forward to pausing each day to reflect on the wonder of the season...and to be sure our focus in on Christ, the true miracle of Christmas.
We use TITT last year and loved it!
ReplyDeleteI just pinned this! I have a love of Advent/count down calendars. :) The best part about this one is that children can create it! Such a fun idea.
