Months have flown by since I last made an entry here. But I finally made it back. I can't beleive it's already December. I say that every year and each year I really mean it.

This year we decided to really add something to our family's Christmas traditions with an Advent Wreath. We have always done the calendar and the stories, but now that the kids are getting older, I remembered the Advent Wreath at a church our family used to attend and loved that tradition. When I first got married, I bought an Advent candle holder, but could never find candles to fit. So this weekend I made my own Advent Wreath.

Tonight we read parts of Isaiah, lit the first purple candle, prayed and sang Joy To The World and Come O Come Emmanuel. The kids loved it all and so did we.
