Advent Season

I'm trying really hard this Advent season to shut out the business of the world around me and focus on what Christmas really means. I've done it through simple things like deleting Facebook off my phone so that it doesn't constantly draw my attention. And I'm doing it through my own advent devotions along with the one I'm doing with the kids.

This is the one I'm doing myself and I love it.

 I'm doing a Jesse Tree with the kids using our Jesus Storybook Bible, and they love coloring the ornaments each night. I try not to beat myself up if we get a day or two behind and have to play catch up. When things like the flu hit your house, it happens.

The tree is already starting to fill and I'll be sure to update with a picture at the end of advent of our fully completed tree.
