FIRST DAY OF DECEMBER

Well, the countdown begins!!
If you don't have an advent calendar for your children, you should get one!!
It builds the excitement and helps their counting skills too.
Also, another good idea is a kid friendly Nativity set that your kids can touch.
Talk about Mary & Joseph's trip to Bethlehem and build their excitement about Jesus' birthday!! And then have a birthday party for Jesus!!
We have done this in our family since our oldest was 2 years old. It is the Christmas activity that I feel best about as it puts the emphasis on the Saviour
where it belongs.
The snow is really coming down here! The first snowfall of the season and the kids are so excited. I am even alittle excited but it will probably only last until I have to go out in it!
