I think it looks much nicer as an advent calendar than it does with family portraits circa 1977 in it!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13050180210901674976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27787630.post-74952470961446986502011-12-01T13:50:15.038-08:002011-12-01T13:50:15.038-08:00It's so pretty.

We started this <br /><br />http://www.aholyexperience.com/2010/11/free-jesse-tree-advent-devotional-book/<br /><br />but it is a little (or a lot!) heavy for the age of our kids. It's one of those traditions we'll start for the sake of it sticking later. <br /><br />But I LOVE LOVE LOVE your idea. What about incorporating others into it somehow? Give baking to someone. Fill a stocking with socks, toiletries etc. for a local shelter. Pick up extra items at the grocery store for a food bank.<br /><br />Might have to try and find my inner crafter for this! Looking forward to hearing what other ideas you get!Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10951986583141616127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27787630.post-7563856144507163952011-12-01T13:15:30.484-08:002011-12-01T13:15:30.484-08:00I just posted about what we are doing.

I don't have pictures up yet.<br /><br />Love the calendar you made!<br /><br />Isaiah also has a little wooden tree he made this week which he get a little candy each day to eat. Then we have an USBORNE advent book that he sets up a different person from the nativity scene too. So excited about this month.Trev and Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255645425453462189noreply@blogger.com
