Opening up our 2009 ornaments. I decided to give them to the kids early so we can actually enjoy them on the tree!
Since Shawn and I love the show "Smallville", we had to get our little superbaby a Superman ornament!
Santa Baby!
Shawn and I have been wanting to do Advent with the kids for a few years. This year we decided to do it! This is our wreath that was made by Shawn's dad. I am so excited to have that fresh pine smell in our house since we can't get a real tree! I added the ribbon and beads and we have been enjoying the daily reminder to have Hope and Peace. We usually spend only about 5 minutes each night after dinner talking about it. We read a verse and try and think of practical ways to live out hope and peace to others. We have had some great discussions and I hope that this family devotional time will continue!

I just got thinking.... fresh pine... allergies???
Just a random thought!
Love the pictures!
We 86ed the fresh pine needles, and things seem to clearing up!
I'm so glad that we did the advent wreath and candles, honey! I know that the kids aren't getting every possible aspect of advent, but I feel like they are at least getting a foundation of hope, peace, love, and joy. Remember, they are taking in more than we think. It's our job to live out these concepts.
I love sharing our faith with our kids!
